SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Rich Howard
DESCRIPTION:Uncertainty and Doubt\nWe may come to practice in search of clear answers\, but as practice matures\, we become more comfortable with uncertainty and ambiguity. Suzuki Roshi wrote\, “In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities\, but in the expert’s mind there are few. ” Maintaining this “beginner’s mind” keeps practice fresh and opens the mind to surprising insights. Too much uncertainty and ambiguity may lead to doubt. Let’s explore this rich territory together and see what it means for our formal and daily practice. Bring your experiences with uncertainty and doubt for sharing with the community.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren
DESCRIPTION:Revisiting the Meaning\, Benefits & Risks of Suffering\nWe talk so much about “suffering” in Buddhist practice\, we sometimes lost touch with the original meaning of suffering found in the historical Buddha’s teaching. Instead\, we turn we slide into a western psychological meaning. And we also lose touch with the tangible benefits and the clear risks or dangers of suffering.\nThis evening with SIM Founding Teacher\, Dennis Warren\, will explore the meaning\, benefits and risks of suffering from a Buddhist perspective. It will extend a number of the principles outlined in Dennis’s talk on February 16th. You may want to review that talk as a way of preparing for this evening.\nCome prepared with your questions on these topics to supplement the talk and discussion with SIM’s Founding Teacher Dennis Warren.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Diane Wilde
DESCRIPTION:“I’m Right\, you’re wrong… end of discussion”\nPart 1 of Right View — the views we hold in everyday life\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Diane Wilde. During this historic and volatile period in our nations’s history\, it is helpful to return to the guidance provided by the basic principles of this practice — Right View or Wise View\, “samma ditthi.”  All of us across the political and social spectrums are tenaciously cleaning to our views which we summarily declare as “truth.” Too often fear\, anger\, resentment and even hatred are propelling us in one direction or another.  If we take the time to take inventory\, we might discover which closely-held views are wise and compassionate and which promote ignorance and cruelty.  Looking at these beliefs in our lives is practicing Skillful or Wise View in daily life. Clearly seeing how things are is a formidable task\, yet this is what is asked of us if we truly desire to decrease\, and hopefully eliminate\, suffering in our lives. \nWe will leave time to discuss the views in our own lives and how they enhance or promote suffering. \nPart 2 of Right View on March 30 will investigate the “enlightened” state of not clinging to a view.   What does that really mean?  Is this possible\, or even desirable\, in today’s world?

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Rich Howard
DESCRIPTION:Four “Nobel” Truths: Bob Dylan’s Dharma\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Rich Howard. \nBob Dylan received the 2016 Nobel Prize for Literature “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.” His poetic song lyrics have an ambiguity that allows for many different interpretations. This Thursday night\, “far between sundown’s finish an’ midnight’s broken toll\,” we will re-visit one of the core teachings of the historical Buddha\, through the lens of the words of a Jew who converted to Christianity. Even if Dylan did not have a Buddhist background like Leonard Cohen or Jane Hirshfield\, we might learn something about the Four Noble Truths from the lyrics of this important American singer-songwriter-poet. Whether you are a big Dylan fan\, or someone for whom he is ancient history from your grandparents’ time\, or just one of the “searching ones\, on their speechless\, seeking trail\,” join us for an evening of poetry\, dharma\, and discussion.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Discussion with SIM Community Mentor\, Diane Wilde
DESCRIPTION:What about God???\nIt seems appropriate to discuss god and its compatibility — or not — with the holiest seasons in the Judeo-Christian calendar approaching in April.  In the West\, there is a widespread assumption that you can’t be a Buddhist and believe in a supreme being.\nAt prison\, inmates — especially people who are new to the practice —frequently ask about Buddhism and its teachings on god.  Underlying this question is a concern about being cajoled to “convert to Buddhism.”  (As I have stated numerous times to inmates\, the only conversion is the desire to investigate your own mind.) At SIM as well\, practitioners often embrace the Buddha’s path and simultaneously maintain a strong allegiance to a belief system which defines “God” as the supreme being.  Tonight we will discuss the “gods” that were an important component of the Buddha’s culture\, as well as the Buddha’s teachings on god. For many westerners\, reconciling a belief in god while following the Buddha’s path of alleviating suffering can cause confusion. For others there is no problem at all\, with a comfortable marrying of both.\nShould make for a lively discussion!

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren
DESCRIPTION:Forgetting  and Remembering\nThe original definition of Mindfulness contains the element of “remembering.” What does this mean? And why is it important? What are we “forgetting?”  What are we trying to “remember?” Does it mean remembering to engage in “moment-to-moment non-judgmental awareness”?  As difficult as it is to maintain such a state of mind\, is that it? Is that all? Or is there more? Or is there much more?\nUnderstanding these questions\, and their answers\, in the context of the historical Buddha’s teachings\, is important to practicing well and developing a progressively maturing practice. Reflect on these questions and come prepared with your questions to supplement the talk and discussion. \nSitting and Dharma Talk\, with Dennis Warren\, SIM Founding Teacher

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Diane Wilde
DESCRIPTION:“What About God?”  Part 2     –     Sit & Dharma Talk with Diane Wilde \n“What About God” Part 1 addressed the Buddha’s perspective concerning god\, which of course was strongly influenced by his own cultural imperatives.  Tonight we’ll begin the evening with a brief overview of how various contemporary teachers address this topic both personally and in their sanghas.  The remainder of the evening will be a community discussion on the topic.  Some of us incorporate “god” into our practice due to cultural mores or personal spiritual values. Others experience a sense of relief practicing a path which is non-theistic.  Please come and share your own perspective!  Should be an interesting discussion.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Rich Howard
DESCRIPTION:Engaged and Aware: Finding a Balance\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Rich Howard. \nFor many of us\, commitment to justice and ethics leads us to engage in action in the real world. But our practice of meditative awareness calls us to “be” not just “do.” Are these impulses opposed to each other? Or are they mutually supportive? How can we sustain our engagement and connect our mindfulness to the suffering all around (and within!) us? Let’s explore the implications of bringing our practice into every day life. This evening will serve as a good preparation for SIM’s Earth Day Daylong Retreat on Saturday April 22.
