SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Diane Wilde - Are You Listening?
DESCRIPTION:Insight Meditation and Dharma Talk with SIM Teacher Diane Wilde\n\n\n\nFor biographical details of the teacher Diane Wilde\, click here. \n\n\n\n\n* The teacher will present in-person at the Dharma Center.Hybrid events can be attended via Zoom or onsite at the Sacramento Dharma Center. \n\n\n\n\nAre You Listening?Really listening to another is an incredible skill… it’s almost magical.  When we listen to another\, we are not only giving them the gift of our whole-hearted attention\, we are also taming the ego-driven addiction of impatiently waiting for OUR turn to speak.  When the Buddha spoke about Right Speech\, he was including both sides of the communication equation; skillful means of intentional speech as well as intentional listening to others.  Intentionally listening also means listening to ourselves\, to our own innate wisdom which we often ignore. Skillful Listening is a mindful practice that changes attitudes and beliefs as well as enhances empathy and community.  It is a great gift to bring into this New Year… for ourselves\, our friends\, and to those with whom we disagree. \n\n\n\nOffer a Teacher Donation\n\n\n\nDiane Wilde will receive at least 75% of your donation. \n\n\n\nUse the following donate button and select Talk – Dec 11 Diane from the dropdown list. \n\n\n\n\nDONATE – Thu Talk\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to Attend Remotely\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin online meeting: https://zoom.us/join or join by phone at 1-669-900-6833( Meeting ID: 893 8282 0540 and Passcode: 121034)For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.

Traditionally\, it is not about striving or self-pressure\, but about wise discernment—knowing what nourishes clarity\, kindness\, and freedom\, and what leads to suffering. Learning what sort of effort to expend in our sitting meditation is crucial for developing insight. In daily life\, Right Effort shows up as choosing where we place our attention\, how we respond to habits and emotions\, and when we gently redirect ourselves rather than push or judge. It is the practice of effort that is balanced\, humane\, and aligned with our deepest values. \n\n\n\nOffer a Teacher Donation\n\n\n\nDiane Wilde will receive at least 75% of your donation. \n\n\n\nUse the following donate button and select Talk – Jan 29 Diane from the dropdown list. \n\n\n\n\nDONATE – Thu Talk\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to Attend Remotely\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin online meeting: https://zoom.us/join or join by phone at 1-669-900-6833( Meeting ID: 862 9909 1295 and Passcode: 115163)For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.

DESCRIPTION:Insight Meditation and Dharma Talk with SIM Teacher Walt Opie\n\n\n\nFor biographical details of the teacher Walt Opie\, click here. \n\n\n\n\n* The teacher will present in-person at the Dharma Center.Hybrid events can be attended via Zoom or onsite at the Sacramento Dharma Center. \n\n\n\n\nRight ConcentrationAs part of our ongoing series\, this talk will examine the final factor of the Noble Eightfold Path\, which is Right Concentration. Practicing Right Effort and Right Mindfulness\, in combination with a strong foundation in ethical behavior (Right Speech\, Right Action\, Right Livelihood) leads eventually to a more focused or unified mind that is easily able to stay with one object like the breath or to maintain continuous awareness as the objects of our attention change (thoughts\, sights\, sounds\, tastes\, etc). With this steady\, still\, undistracted mind\, we are then ready to cultivate insight which leads to wisdom (Right View\, Right Intention) and potentially to full awakening. \n\n\n\nOffer a Teacher Donation\n\n\n\nWalt Opie will receive at least 75% of your donation. \n\n\n\nUse the following donate button and select Talk – Feb 5 Walt from the dropdown list. \n\n\n\n\nDONATE – Thu Talk\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to Attend Remotely\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin online meeting: https://zoom.us/join or join by phone at 1-669-900-6833( Meeting ID: 862 9909 1295 and Passcode: 115163)For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.
