But in the face of today’s multiple crises\, we can’t turn away.” \n– Bhikkhu Bodhi \n\nWith Bhikkhu Bodhi’s admonition in mind\, we will discuss the timeless teachings of the Buddha in regards to the outcome of the mid-term election… whatever those results might be. \nBring your concerns\, your hopes and intentions for what comes next. \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.

Diane Wilde\nThe Buddha taught that how we frame our questions is equally\, and usually\, more important then the answer.  In other words\, the Buddha wasn’t content simply to provide answers to people’s questions. He also wanted to show them how unskillful questions can be recognized through testing\, and how skillful questions—conducive to the end of suffering—can be framed and tested in their place.  These skills are applicable to our meditation practice as well as in daily life.  For example\, we might begin to see when we or others are asking a question not for an answer\, but to enhance a particular self-identity. If we do not know how to frame our questions skillfully\, we can find ourselves mired in an untenable situation of our own making. As Voltaire noted\, “Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers.” \n  \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.
