SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Rich Howard - Dana in Theory and Practice
DESCRIPTION:Dana in Theory and Practice\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Rich Howard.\nDana is one of the core practices of our Insight/Vipassana tradition\, and it is fraught with potential baggage. On this evening\, we will examine dana and related concepts (giving\, generosity\, renunciation)\, its place on various Buddhist lists\, and how it might fit into our contemporary practice. Rich will include some of the classical stories of dana from the Pali Canon and invite discussion of how this practice\, which like many Buddhist practices runs “against the stream” of current American culture\, has been working for you. \nSacramento Insight Meditation events are sustained by the generosity of instructors in offering teachings freely and on the generosity of students and members of the meditative community in the form of financial support\, service and participation in events. With our practice of dana\, we support our Sangha. \nThursday Night Talk Dana\n“Generosity is the virtue that leads to peace.” – The Historical Buddha\nWe recognize that donating by cash or check at the time you attend this event may not always be convenient for you. If that’s the case\, please use the form below to donate by credit card or your PayPal account. Enter the amount you’d like to give and your donation will be shared with Rich Howard and SIM. \n[give_form id=”10304″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”]

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Dennis Warren - Starting Anew - Expectations For Practice
DESCRIPTION:Starting Anew – Expectations For Practice During The Next Decade\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren \nWith the start of a new decade\, there is real value in looking at what we can reasonably expect from our individual practices as community level practitioners? What tests or standards did the historical Buddha recommend for assessing how we have done in the last decade\, and what we may achieve in the new decade?\nThis evening will involve an examination of the historical context the lead to the Buddha’s approaches to psychological\, emotional and spiritual development. It will also involve an investigation of guidelines for creating a sound practice and assessing it impact in our lives.\nThe discussion this evening will build on a number of themes explored in Dennis’ presentation on December 19 “Craving and Clinging – Stepping Stones on The Path of Both Suffering & Awakening.” You can listen to the Dec 19th talk that’s posted to our audio dharma library (click here). \nSacramento Insight Meditation events are sustained by the generosity of instructors in offering teachings freely and on the generosity of students and members of the meditative community in the form of financial support\, service and participation in events.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Rich Howard - The Five Reflections
DESCRIPTION:The Five Reflections: The Adult Facts of Life\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Rich Howard.\nThe Five Reflections are that we are subject (1) to aging\, (2) to illness\, and (3) to death; (4) that we will be separated from all that is dear to us; and (5) that we are responsible for our own actions and destiny. Many Buddhists throughout the world take these as a daily practice\, a reminder that everything is impermanent and that loss is never far away. The historical Buddha recommended reflecting often on these facts “whether one is a woman or a man\, lay or ordained.” On this evening of reflection and discussion\, we will examine each of these “adult facts of life” and explore our relationship to them. \nSacramento Insight Meditation events are sustained by the generosity of instructors in offering teachings freely and on the generosity of students and members of the meditative community in the form of financial support\, service and participation in events. With our practice of dana\, we support our Sangha. \nThursday Night Talk Dana\n“Generosity is the virtue that leads to peace.” – The Historical Buddha\nWe recognize that donating by cash or check at the time you attend this event may not always be convenient for you.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Dennis Warren - Cross The River of Suffering
DESCRIPTION:What Does It Mean To Cross The River of Suffering\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren \nThe Historical Buddha used the image of our making our way across “the River of Suffering\,” then leaving the boat we arrived in at the water’s edge\, once we are safely on “the other shore.” What does it mean to “cross the river of suffering?” and to reach “the other shore?” Was the Buddha implying that it is our fate to continuously suffer until we have crossed the River?\nThis evening will examination the Buddha’s guidance for community level practitioners – non-monastics – about the pleasures of community life and practice in the context of the responsibilities and obligations of community life.\nThis guidance clearly points to the idea that the teachings are designed to support and create ease in our life\, not to foster a sense of struggle\, and an over-emphasis & self-indulgence\, on suffering that may be present. This guidance\, for those living full community lives\, is a necessary and important element in creating a balanced practice\, and a satisfying & happy life. \nSacramento Insight Meditation events are sustained by the generosity of instructors in offering teachings freely and on the generosity of students and members of the meditative community in the form of financial support\, service and participation in events. With our practice of dana\, we support our Sangha. \nThursday Night Talk Dana\n“Generosity is the virtue that leads to peace.” – The Historical Buddha\nWe recognize that donating by cash or check at the time you attend this event may not always be convenient for you.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Diane Wilde - The Truth About Lying
DESCRIPTION:The Truth About Lying\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Diane Wilde\nDo you lie? Yes you do. Research shows we all lie on a daily basis… often many times a day! Yet\, truthfulness\, and the avoidance of falsehood is emphasized over and over again in the Buddha’s teachings. Truthfulness is the first factor of Right Speech with specific guidelines on how to evaluate when\, and how\, to speak truthfully. Speaking truthfully is also the fourth of the Five Training Precepts\, which are the basic virtues to be cultivated on our path to ease and happiness. Yet\, we lie so frequently and for such a variety of reasons\, that lying becomes an acceptable “necessity.” We maintain that we have plausible reasoning for our lies. Did the Buddha mean we must always be truthful? Let’s find out! \nSacramento Insight Meditation events are sustained by the generosity of instructors in offering teachings freely and on the generosity of students and members of the meditative community in the form of financial support\, service and participation in events. With our practice of dana\, we support our Sangha. \nThursday Night Talk Dana\n“Generosity is the virtue that leads to peace.” – The Historical Buddha\nWe recognize that donating by cash or check at the time you attend this event may not always be convenient for you.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Rich Howard - Awareness\, Effort\, Right View
DESCRIPTION:Awareness\, Effort\, and Right View\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Rich Howard\nGoogle “mindfulness” and you’ll find this definition (from Psychology Today): “Mindfulness is a state of active\, open attention to the present.” On the other hand\, Burmese monk and meditation teacher Sayadaw U Tejaniya titled one of his books “Awareness Alone is Not Enough.” What else is needed? Won’t it be complicated? With all the approaches to mindfulness floating around\, it may be a challenge to know how to practice a simple yet effective form of awareness that leads to insight and eventually freedom. With reminders from Sayadaw’s two most recent books\, “Collecting Gold Dust” and “Relax and Be Aware” as well as his classics\, we will look at the wider context of Awareness/Mindfulness/Attention: how it might differ from some of the popular notions\, how it fits in the Noble Eightfold Path\, and how it supports our search for freedom. This evening will be a good preparation for Rich’s Saturday\, February 29 daylong\, Awareness Practice and Inquiry. \nSacramento Insight Meditation events are sustained by the generosity of instructors in offering teachings freely and on the generosity of students and members of the meditative community in the form of financial support\, service and participation in events. With our practice of dana\, we support our Sangha. \nThursday Night Talk Dana\n“Generosity is the virtue that leads to peace.” – The Historical Buddha\nWe recognize that donating by cash or check at the time you attend this event may not always be convenient for you.
