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.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk with Long-time SIM Community Member\, Laura Rosenthal
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.

DESCRIPTION:You Don’t Have to Be Buddhist\nRich just returned from Thailand\, where Theravada Buddhism is interwoven with Hinduism and native folk religion.

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.

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.
