SUMMARY:*Sit & Special Event: State of the Sangha & Thank You
DESCRIPTION:A Special Event: State of the Sangha & Thank You \nNovember 2 will be a special evening to review the considerable accomplishments we’ve made as an organization on our one-year anniversary in the Sacramento Dharma Center. Members of the SIM Board will share their perspectives on the State of the Sangha and plans for 2018 and beyond. \nWe’ll celebrate all that we’ve achieved in moving to a new physical home\, building relationships with the other sanghas who are now our neighbors\, and rising to meet the financial challenges that accompanied our move. We are pleased to be able to present a positive year-end report and to share our plans for 2018. We’ll look forward to hearing community members share their observations about the last year as well as new ideas for improvement and change. \nAn important part of the evening will be an expression of gratitude for the indispensable help from all our volunteers during this year of transition and for all our members for being part of this community and providing essential financial support. \nWe also want to announce some significant changes in the operation of our Board. This includes several new officers as well as a new President who is scheduled to serve a full two-year term beginning in March of 2018. \nWe’ll sit\, have cake and tea\, then have presentations\, discussion and questions and answers. This will be a very special evening\, and we look forward to seeing and hearing from each of you.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Rich Howard - Two Darts: How is that working for you?
DESCRIPTION:Two Darts: How is that working for you?\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Rich Howard \nThe last few months have presented us with a seemingly unending string of tragic events. Natural disasters\, human cruelty\, and events combining both have caused death and destruction around the world. As we take all this in\, how is our practice serving us? The Sallatha Sutta\, SN 36:6\, provides some clues. Are we adding to the pain or using our mindfulness to “endure courageously\, with patience and equanimity?” SIM Community Mentor Rich Howard  will lead a discussion of how this well-known sutta may help us with our current challenges. \nTo prepare\, read “In the Buddha’s Words” page 21 and section I\,2(1) The Dart of Painful Feeling\, pages 31-32. \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 - Diane Wilde - The Atthakavagga: the original seeds that gave rise to Buddhist teachings
DESCRIPTION:The Atthakavagga: the original seeds that gave rise to Buddhist teachings\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Diane Wilde\n \n“The wise person does not oppose any other person’s doctrine.” \nThis is one of the reflections from one of the earliest books in the Pali Cannon\, the Atthakavagga. Gil Fronsdal states in his introduction to his translation of the Atthakavagga: \n“Here we find the Buddhist teachings pared down to their most essential elements\, free of the more complex doctrines often associated with Buddhism.” \nThe poems and verses from this small collection reveal a pattern of teachings that are much different — in their directness and simplicity — from the later sutta collections. Verses in the Atthakavagga often have an almost koan-like quality\, which often seem open to interpretation.  We will discuss the exegesis of the Atthakavagga and our own interpretations of a few of its seemingly “simple” verses. \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 - Diane Wilde - The Atthakavagga\, Part 2
DESCRIPTION:The Atthakavagga: the original seeds that gave rise to Buddhist teachings (Part2)\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Diane Wilde\n \n“For someone sunk in confusion\, even if well concealed in a hiding place\, seclusion is far away.” This is another paradoxical reflection from one of the earliest collections in the Pali Cannon\, the Atthakavagga. In this verse from a verse entitled “The Hiding Place”\, the protagonist appears to be redefining solitude or seclusion\, and perhaps loneliness. Just as we discovered during our first discussion two weeks ago\, this verse asks us to draw our own conclusions. Gil Fronsdal states in his introduction to his translation of the Atthakavagga: “Here we find the Buddhist teachings pared down to their most essential elements\, free of the more complex doctrines often associated with Buddhism.” The poems and verses from this small collection reveal a pattern of teachings that are much different — in their directness and simplicity — from the later sutta collections. Verses in the Atthakavagga often have an almost a koan-like quality\, which seem open to interpretation. \nTo listen to Part 1 of this talk\, click here or visit the audio dharma post date of Nov 16\, 2017. \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. \n
