SUMMARY:Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Diane Wilde
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, September 1\, 7-9 pm. Sitting and Dharma Talk with Diane Wilde\, SIM Community Mentor. \nHow do we know that we are acting appropriately? \nBuddhist practice is not a set of black and white rules.  Just as in life\, situations are nuanced\, fluid with different strategies for situations\, which on the surface\, might seem to be similar. Should we always tell the truth when asked?  Should we report what we perceive is a harmful act?  Do we always disengage from others who we feel are unskillful or don’t share our opinions?  Examples abound.  Bring your own thoughts and experiences on this topic Thursday night as we look at a variety of life situations with wisdom AND compassion. We are all in this realm of samsara\, attempting to cause as little harm to ourselves and others as possible.  There is a reason why Sangha is the third refuge.

SUMMARY:Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher\, Dennis Warren
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, September 22\, 7-9:15. Sitting and Dharma Talk/Discussion with Dennis Warren\, SIM Founding Instructor. \nTalk Topic: BEING OF SERVICE TO OTHERS & OURSELVES \nIt’s not unusual to think of “service” as something special we do: working at a soup kitchen\, homeless shelter\, dog shelter\, the pediatric unit in a hospital\, a clothing donation center. But “service”\, in a Buddhist sense\, is a much bigger idea that encompasses even small acts of supporting or helping a relative\, a friend or our spiritual community\, such as SIM. \nThis evening will explore the nature of service\, its values and its benefits. Dennis has been leading a year-long course entitled “How Can I Help” which includes each participant doing service in the community each month. A number of the insights and experiences from the course will be included in the discussion. \nDennis will also discuss a new effort by SIM to establish a sound\, new SIM volunteer infra-structure in anticipation of moving to the Sacramento Dharma Center building sometime in October. \nThis event will begin at 7:00 pm at Sacramento Friends Meetinghouse\, 890 57th Street.

SUMMARY:Sit & Dharma Talk with Long-time SIM Community Member\, Laura Rosenthal
DESCRIPTION:Faith and Challenges/Sustaining Practice \n\nIn the Insight Meditation tradition as practiced at SIM\, faith is an experiential quality of engagement rather than doctrinaire adherence to a top-down belief system. And obstacles to practice\, however unwelcome they may feel\, are the field of practice through which we learn about our own minds and the path away from “suffering” (the experience of “unsatisfactoriness”). Join Laura Rosenthal\, a long-time SIM participant\, for a group discussion about how we sustain our engagement with practice in the face of the obstacles\, many of them self-generated\, that we encounter. Laura will set the stage with a very brief overview of faith and “the hindrances” as well as basic principles of “dharma dialog\,” and will then facilitate a group discussion. We will sit in a circle to support active listening and sharing.\n\n\n\nLaura is a graduate of Spirit Rock Meditation Center’s Dedicated Practitioners’ Program. She is currently participating in Spirit Rock’s Advanced Practitioners’ Program and Heather Sundberg’s Committed Students’ Program.
