SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Dennis Warren - Seeking Nothing\, Fearful of Nothing\, Being Free
DESCRIPTION:Seeking Nothing\, Fearful of Nothing\, Being Free\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren \nSome of the most fundamental instructions we heard about practice – “Seek nothing\, Be fearful of nothing\, and You will be free” – seem to conflict with other fundamental instructions such as not striving for any particular results of state of mind. How do we explain this situation?\nThis evening we’ll explore the answer to this apparent contradiction in fundamental instructions. Understanding why such fundamental instructions are not contradictory and not in conflict is key to a sound practice. This will be the important territory we’ll investigate Thursday evening. \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 – Matt Russell – MBSR and Secular Mindfulness
DESCRIPTION:MBSR and Secular Mindfulness\nThis talk will provide an introduction to Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) in anticipation of the 8-week MBSR course which will be offered at SIM beginning August 21\, 2019. This presentation should be of interest both for individuals considering participating in the MBSR course\, as well as those interested in the place of secular mindfulness in contemporary culture and its connections with Buddhism. \nDesigned by Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979\, MBSR is an integrative and scientifically validated approach that combines mindfulness practices with group processing and psycho-education around stress. MBSR helps participants mobilize their inner resources to alleviate suffering associated with chronic pain and illness\, as well as conditions such as anxiety\, depression\, headaches\, high blood pressure\, sleep disturbances\, gastrointestinal problems and the stresses of everyday life. MBSR was featured in Bill Moyers’ television special\, “Healing and the Mind.” \n\nMBSR Course Available: Aug 2019 \n\nAt the bottom of this page\, you may enter the number of people planning to attend and select the button “Confirm RSVP”.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Tony Bernhard - Exploring the Refuges
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the Refuges as an Investigative Practice\nSit & Dharma Talk with Visiting Teacher Tony Bernhard \nCalling to mind The Three Refuges is usually done as a devotional practice. This discussion will look into the nature of refuge itself and ask how Buddha\, Dharma\, and Sangha might serve as a sanctuary for Buddhist practitioners. \nTony Bernhard is a Buddhist chaplain and teacher. He maintains an active practice with inmates in Folsom Prison and hosts sitting groups in Davis. He sits on the board of the Sati Center for Buddhist Studies and teaches regularly around the bay area and central valley. His practice is non-traditional\, guided by his chaplaincy work in prison\, his teaching and by his study of the early Pali scriptures. \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.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Rich Howard\, John Phelps - Pilgrimage\, Devotion\, and Uposatha
DESCRIPTION:Pilgrimage\, Devotion\, and Uposatha\nSit & Dharma Talk with with SIM Community Teacher Rich Howard and SIM Community Member John “Boogie” Phelps.\nHow does our practice include the warmth of heart\, expressed freely in devotion? Sometimes it may seem as if Buddhism’s intention to relieve suffering and be awake to the way things are\, in Western practice centers\, sidesteps the personal intimacy of devotion that we see in Asian temple life\, and in other faith traditions. To whom and what is devotion given? What can we learn from others\, and from attending to our own longings and gratefulness? Rich and John have been exploring this topic and will invite our participation in that exploration. \nAfter the presentation\, Rich and Boogie will host an evening of meditation and chanting as long as people would like to stay (up to midnight). In many Theravada countries\, special practice days are observed in line with phases of the moon\, called Uposatha. On this full moon day\, you are also invited to practice the eight precepts. Chanting books will be provided. \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.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Diane Wilde - “Just let it go!”
DESCRIPTION:“Just let it go!”\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Diane Wilde\n  \nWhere have you heard that before? These words have become as ubiquitous a phrase as “Have a nice day!” How seriously should we take it\, and is this directive even possible OR desirable? \nThis rather prosaic statement is stating in colloquial terms the core Buddhist practice of “non-attachment” — which is often viewed as one of the most confusing and seemingly impossible Buddhist injunctions… especially as a lay practitioner. How can we become non-attached to our children? Personal relationships? The state of the world? The confusion may come from our misunderstanding about what this teaching really means. We will discuss the deeper meaning of this statement\, and methods for its practical application — both on and off the cushion. \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 Rev.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Dennis Warren - “Framing Experience”
DESCRIPTION:The Role Of “Framing Experience” In Performance\, Satisfaction and Happiness\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren \nEvery day we are presented with circumstances that can be opportunities\, challenges or problems depending on how our mind frames the experience that is taking place. The way our mind frames an experience has enormous influence in determining how we relate to the experience\, and how we feel about our capacity to deal with it skillfully and how we perform.\nThis event – how the mind frames what is it about to engage – is critical in guiding how\, and whether\, we can mobilize our inner resources to take on what life brings to us with determination\, patience and satisfaction; or whether we struggle\, suffer and are disappointed. This is the difference between feeling empowered and capable vs vulnerable and at risk.\nThis principle applies whether the circumstances\, or life situation\, involves our interior life\, our relationship with others\, or economic\, cultural or political events taking place in our community\, our country or the work.\nDennis’ talk Thursday night\, and the related discussion\, with focus on this critical\, and frequently overlooked\, element of practice. We will examine the what\, why and how of framing events from a practice perspective using real life illustrations. How can we use our practice to improve the fundamental way we relate to our experience\, improve our performance and feeling better about ourselves? \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.
