Can we learn to recognize how causes and conditions work in our lives experientially without making it into an intellectual analysis? What would it be like to know a peace that does not depend on outside circumstances? \nRich Howard will lead this evening exploring the practical application of the Buddhist understanding of conditionality. As a start\, notice how the experience of finding a parking place near the Friends’ Meeting House affects your mood!

It is as though we need to convince ourselves that we are okay\, which we can only do indirectly\, in comparison to people who we feel are superior\, are less okay or just like us.\nThe point is not to dwell on our own faults—or our own virtues\, for that matter. It is to see ourselves and others in a clear and unbiased way. It is to see\, but not to dwell on the seeing.\nThe first step in this practice is awareness of what we are doing\, actually seeing and experiencing the discontent of the comparing mind!\nWe will discuss the judging mind and the Buddha’s advise on how to abandon it.

Many\, if not most\, of our decisions are based on an assumption – the assumption that things will remain as they are. Why do our minds do this? \nThis evening with SIM’s Founding Teacher will explore the nature of change and adapting to change from the perspective of Buddhist psychology and practice. What are the conditions\, mind states\, and attitudes that allow us to adapt to change with a sense of ease\, acceptable and equanimity? And which hinder or act as obstacles to it? \nThis event will be held at the Friends Meeting House\, 890 57th Street URL:https://sactoinsight.org/event/sit-dharma-talk-sim-founding-teacher-dennis-warren-4-6/ LOCATION:Friends Meeting House\, 890 57th Street\, Sacramento\, CA\, 95819-3327\, United States CATEGORIES:News,Weekly Meditation END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20161024T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20161024T200000 DTSTAMP:20260505T015254 CREATED:20160831T201120Z LAST-MODIFIED:20161003T231616Z UID:1683-1477333800-1477339200@sactoinsight.org SUMMARY:Buddhist Recovery Group DESCRIPTION:Our Buddhist Recovery Group meets every Monday evening from 6:30 pm–8:00 pm at the Sacramento Dharma Center\, 3111 Wissemann Drive\, Sacramento\, CA 95826 (off Folsom Blvd. between Howe and Watt Avenues). \nWe explore how the Buddha’s teachings — the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path – can heal the pain and suffering that addiction and compulsive behaviors have caused in our lives and the lives of our loved ones.

How do they challenge our equanimity and how are they a tool for cultivating greater insight and ease? \nLaura is a longtime SIM participant. She is a graduate of Spirit Rock Meditation Center’s Dedicated Practitioners Program (DPP4) and is currently participating in Spirit Rock’s Advanced Practitioners Program.
