SUMMARY:(Remote) Sit & Dharma Talk - Rich Howard - Finding Happiness
DESCRIPTION:Finding Happiness: the Maha-Mangala Sutta\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Rich Howard \nJoin online meeting: https://zoom.us/j/98148807545\nPasscode: 212082\nJoin by phone: 1-669-900-6833 ( Meeting ID: 981 4880 7545 )\nFor tips and instructions on how to participate\, check this news blog. \nThursday Night Talk Dana\n[give_form id=”10304″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] “Generosity is the virtue that leads to peace.” – The Historical Buddha\nFor remote meetings\, please use the form above to donate by credit card or your PayPal account. Enter the amount you’d like to give and 75% of your donation will be shared with Rich Howard. \nTopic details: \nAs the days wane and the nights get longer\, Rich will bring reflections on the “greatest blessings” from the Maha-Mangala Sutta (Sutta Nipata 2.4). This beloved sutta reminds us that\, even in the midst of loss and grief\, our ordinary lives contain so many sources of happiness. In balancing our awareness of suffering with the uplifting conditions in life\, we come closer to seeing things as they are. This awareness provides a balance to our daily life practice and a motivation for skillful action in the world. \nRich last offered a reflection on this sutta four years ago\, as we moved into the Sacramento Dharma Center. Now that we are not able to be there in person\, let’s bring these blessings to mind again.

SUMMARY:Canceled - Climate Sangha
DESCRIPTION:Meeting the 3rd Wednesday of each month\, the Sacramento Climate Sangha provides dharmic support and a refuge for exploration of our hopes and fears about climate change.\n\nDear Friends\, \nJanuary 20\, 2021 is a big day! In hopes that this date marks a tipping point toward significant action to address the climate crisis\, we are going to take this month off for our Climate Sangha and invite you all to enjoy the inauguration and associated festivities. We will reconvene on Wednesday February 17\, when Jim Lerner\, PhD CRS (certified rocket scientist) will give us his perspectives on solutions to the global climate emergency. \nIf you want to get your climate fix before then\, you are invited to view the conversation and five short films linked here. Apologies for duplication if you already received this directly\, but we wanted to be sure you got this if you missed it live. \nTake care\, recharge\, and be bold! \nRich Howard

SUMMARY:(Remote) Sit & Dharma Talk - Dennis Warren - Reconsidering Mindfulness
DESCRIPTION:Reconsidering Mindfulness\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren \nJoin online meeting: https://zoom.us/j/96240423883\nPasscode: 890319\nJoin by phone: 1-669-900-6833 ( Meeting ID: 962 4042 3883 )\nFor tips and instructions on how to participate\, check this news blog. \nThursday Night Talk Dana\n[give_form id=”10310″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] “Generosity is the virtue that leads to peace.” – The Historical Buddha\nFor remote meetings\, please use the form above to donate by credit card or your PayPal account. Enter the amount you’d like to give and 75% of your donation will be shared with Dennis Warren. \nTopic details:\nMindfulness is the operational centerpiece of good practice\, sound problem solving and living well. It supports and enables all the different teachings\, methods and psychology of the historical Buddha which are designed to help us live a rich\, full\, satisfying life.\nOne way of understanding mindfulness is that it has two interlocking dimensions: One is practical and functional. The other is oriented towards awakening or liberation. As a community practitioner\, we can inadvertently slip into the habit of relating to mindfulness\, and practice itself\, as only functional and practical.\nWhen this happens\, mindfulness and practice can become self-restricting and self-limiting. Such an approach can accidently obscure\, and potentially cut us off from\, spontaneous discovery and the deep\, intuitive\, healing wisdom of our bodies and hearts. We can become disconnected from the beauty and power inherent in exploring the mystery\, and the dilemma\, of being human\, of being in relationships and of being alive on this planet.\nThis is the territory we’ll explore on Thursday evening: functional mindfulness; awakening or liberating mindfulness; and the unifying and inspiring experience at the center of practice which is beyond words\, language and concepts.\nThe subject matter of this evening is appropriate for all stages of practice. All that is necessary is showing up with an open\, questioning mind.

SUMMARY:(Remote) Sit & Dharma Talk - Rich Howard - Finding and Losing Your Self

Enter the amount you’d like to give and 75% of your donation will be shared with Rich Howard. \nTopic details:\nThe Buddhist concept of “not self” can be very confusing if we let it linger as a subject of philosophical speculation or distant conceptual notion. On the other hand\, the Buddha taught the illusion of self (anatta in Pali) as one of the three universal characteristics of experience\, along with impermanence and unsatisfactoriness; living an embodied insight into how this process works is one avenue to awakening.\nTwo of the basic processes we have taught often at SIM offer ways of seeing into how we construct and maintain the sense of self: the five aggregates of clinging and dependent origination. In this presentation\, Rich will share some other approaches from classes he attended with Steve Armstrong and Kamala Masters at the Vipassana Metta Foundation and Jay Garfield at the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies. We will place particular emphasis on the ethical and liberating aspects of these teachings.
