SUMMARY:Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Diane Wilde
DESCRIPTION:Friendship… the friend we are to others and the friendships we cultivate \nOur new home and the first SIM Dharma sitting practice and discussion at the Sacramento Dharma Center is a wonderful opportunity to look at friendship in this new\, expansive and beautiful venue… our new home. What kind of friends do we cultivate? What kind of friend are we to others? What hinders us from being a friend and why do some of us shy away from developing friendships? What can we learn from those whom we consider “difficult”? With three sanghas coming together in our shared space\, it is a timely topic. \nAll of us who practice and study the Buddha’s teachings at the Sacramento Dharma Center will all be asked to help and support our new home. This is a wonderful opportunity to deepen old friendships and cultivate new ones. The Buddha offered wise and compassionate advise which couldn’t be more relevant then right now.

SUMMARY:Sit & Community Discussion\, led by SIM Community Mentor\, Diane Wilde
DESCRIPTION:Diane will give an overview on Right Speech and Skillful Listening and then invite the community to share what they found out about themselves and others with the home practice exercises offered at the 11-3-16 meeting.\nIf you are one of the sangha members who resist talking to a group\, please investigate your own response.  This is a great area of practice!  Consider that an entire community benefits from the shared experiences of all who are following the Buddha’s path to freedom.\nComing together as a community to share topics that are normally not discussed in “ordinary” society is one of the gifts of sangha and spiritual friends.  Please take part!

SUMMARY:Sit & Dharma Talk\, with SIM Founding Teacher\, Dennis Warren
DESCRIPTION:CHANGE AND KARMA \nWhat is the relationship between the constant element of change in our lives and what is called “Karma” in Buddhist practice? These two realities can act as powerful resources for understanding Buddhist psychology; informing our meditation practice; and helping us live more satisfying and meaningful lives. How does the Buddhist understanding of these issues differ from that of other spiritual traditions? \nThis evening with SIM’s Founding Teacher\, Dennis Warren\, will explore these topics from both a short and long term perspective. As background for this evening\, you may find it helpful to review Dennis’  presentation from Oct 20\, 2016 on the nature of change.

SUMMARY:Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Diane Wilde
DESCRIPTION:From Chaos to Opportunity and Reflections by Leonard Cohen \nChaos is a time of upheaval and confusion… not exactly a fun state of mind for the individual or society.  The reality of the Buddha’s profound teaching on impermanence is brought clearly into view when the ground we stand on is no longer stable.   Yet this is also a time which offers a unique opportunity to mindfully adjust how we think\, act and speak due to our suddenly shifted reality.  Leonard Cohen\, Canadian poet and song-writer who died November 7\, 2016\, delved into the chaos of his own life as well as society\, through his unique artistic expression. His genius was ultimately embracing it all.  Here we’ll discuss chaos and  opportunity along with some reflections by Leonard Cohen.

SUMMARY:Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Rich Howard
DESCRIPTION:The Greatest Blessing: Reflecting on the Maha-Mangala Sutta \nSeeing things as they are requires opening both to life’s pain and to life’s gifts. For his first presentation in our new home at Sacramento Dharma Center this Thursday\, Rich will bring reflections on the blessings listed in the Maha-Mangala Sutta. This beloved sutta reminds us that our ordinary lives contain so many sources of happiness\, many of which we may overlook. Bringing awareness to these blessings provides a balance to our daily life practice and and a motivation for skillful action in the world.

SUMMARY:Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher\, Dennis Warren
DESCRIPTION:Karma & Reincarnation from a Buddhist Perspective \nHere’s the topic that so many Buddhists try to avoid – Karma & Reincarnation. Some claim – incorrectly – that the historical Buddha did not teach reincarnation. Others claim that you don’t need to know about these teachings or take them seriously to engage in conscious Buddhist practice. Others are just confused and want to avoid the whole topic. But this is an important topic\, and one that needs to be thoughtfully and deeply considered if you take the Buddha’s teachings seriously. \nWhat did the historical Buddha actually teach regarding karma & reincarnation? How do these teachings differ\, if they do\, from the teachings on the same subject by other major spiritual and religious traditions of the day? Why are the Buddha’s teachings on karma & reincarnation relevant to our daily spiritual lives today ? \nThis evening with SIM Founding Teacher\, Dennis Warren\, will explore these topics from both a short and long term perspective. As background for this evening\, you may find it helpful to review Dennis’  November 17th presentation on “Change and Karma”.

SUMMARY:Sitting and Dharma Reflection/Discussion with SIM Community Mentor\, Rich Howard
DESCRIPTION:REFLECTION AT YEAR’S END:  THE PARAMIS \nFor SIM’s last Thursday gathering\, we will take time to reflect quietly together on the past year in terms of the Paramis\, those qualities that lead to peace when cultivated and perfected. Rather than evaluating or judging\, we will then use this reflection to assess our strengths and weaknesses as a way of setting intentions for our practice in the coming New Year. Join the SIM community one last evening in 2016 for a time of silence\, sharing\, reflection\, and community.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher\, Dennis Warren
DESCRIPTION:Recommendations for Practice in 2017 (Part 2) \nThe teachings of the historical Buddha are vast in number and seemingly complex in nature. But he also urged us not to rely on initial surface impressions; instead\, to look underneath and behind our impressions to what is really present. When we apply these principles to the Buddha’s teachings\, we discover an integrated system of methods and psychology that flow from a number of foundational elements.\nThis evening with SIM’s Founding Teacher Dennis Warren will build upon and expand the discussion we began on Thursday\, January 5. That evening looked at a number of elements of practice to focus on in beginning 2017. It may be helpful to review Dennis’ (Part 1) talk on that evening.\nThe evening will include a number of special practice recommendations; examine why the inter-related nature of the Buddha’s teachings is so helpful in examining our own individual practices; and explore a number of potential risks or hazards on the path of practice.

DESCRIPTION:Wise Effort \nWise Effort is one of the “folds” of the Noble Eightfold Path\, the integrated Buddhist path of practice that points in the direction of awakening. What is Wise Effort anyway? Is it actually four efforts? Two? One? Why does the discussion of Wise Effort sometimes sound like a tongue twister? Join Laura Rosenthal for a dharma talk and group conversation about how wise (wholesome) effort can be a useful\, practical and accessible touchstone in both meditation and daily life.\nLaura has been a regular participant in SIM since 2004. She is a graduate of Spirit Rock Meditation Center’s Dedicated Practitioners Program (DPP4) and is currently enrolled in Spirit Rock’s Advanced Practitioners Program as well as Heather Sundberg’s Committed Students Program.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Diane Wilde
DESCRIPTION:When Is Anger Skillful?\nIs anger an empowering and appropriate response to suffering and injustice\, or does it only cause more conflict? Is it skillful or unskillful? Does it help or hurt? With so many bad things happening in the world these days\, there’s a lot of debate about the proper role of anger. The answer may lie in the fundamental distinction Buddhism makes between anger and aggression. We’ll discuss how to channel anger appropriately as taught in the Pali Cannon\, as well as reflections from other teachers and sangha members. \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 with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren
DESCRIPTION:Transforming Ourselves\, Transforming Our Country\nThe aim of the historical Buddha’s teachings is nothing less than a transformation of how we understand ourselves and our experience; how we relate to each other; and how we engage the world around us. He provided us with a substantial system of practices supported by a dynamic psychology to move toward these goals. These practices and psychology are equally applicable to transformation in the inner sense\, as well as the outer sense. What we do and say in the world is a reflection of our inner landscape. \nThis evening will explore the intersection between inner and outer transformation\, and how the practices and psychology handed down to us by the Historical Buddha are essential in dealing with the turbulence\, chaos and change taking place in our country. That change is broad and deep – socially\, culturally\, racially and politically. In this context\, we’ll look at the role and obligations of those in spiritual communities\, both individually and collectively\, in making decisions about government initiated or sanctioned harming and violence. \nCome prepared with your questions on these topics to supplement the talk and discussion with SIM’s Founding Teacher Dennis Warren. \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.
