SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Laura Rosenthal - Starting Over
DESCRIPTION:Starting Over\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Member\, Laura Rosenthal \nWhat does this phrase mean and what does it offer us as Buddhist practitioners? We habitually associate the concept of the new year with a “clean slate.” Perhaps we make resolutions\, head back to the gym\, or make amends for actions we regret. Yet our practice also teaches us that every moment of awareness and wholesome intention is a moment of renewal – at the same time that awareness brings us closer to an understanding of the ways past mental\, verbal and physical actions condition present experience. For our first evening together after New Years Day\, join long-time SIM participant Laura Rosenthal for a dharma talk and group discussion of this rich topic. \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

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Rich Howard - Bringing Tranquility to the Land
DESCRIPTION:Bringing Tranquility to the Land\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Rich Howard \nFor all his teachings on ultimate liberation\, the Buddha offered many teachings to laypeople and rulers on practical matters. SIM Mentor Rich Howard has chosen the story of King Mahāvijita and his chaplain to illustrate the compassion of the Buddha towards humans struggling with every day matters. This short selection from the Kūtadanta Sutta (DN 5)\, offers a vision of society that may sound different from the approaches in current headlines. Our discussion will focus on how we can bring these principles into our every day lives. \nIn preparation\, you may read the last paragraph of Bikkhu Bodhi’s introduction to Chapter IV of “In the Buddha’s Words” (page 114); the sutta selection is on pages 141-142. \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 - Dennis Warren - Resolving Conflicting\, Contradictory or Paradoxical Teachings
DESCRIPTION:Resolving Conflicting\, Contradictory or Paradoxical Teachings\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher\, Dennis Warren \nIt is easy to view our perception that one teaching conflicts with\, contradicts or is paradoxical to another teaching as an obstacle to our understanding\, insight and progress on the path of practice. This perception is frequently a mis-perception based on uncertainty\, confusion and doubt. When properly understood\, the skillful resolution of such misunderstandings act as a doorway\, rather than an obstacles\, to the next level\, stage or dimension of practice. \nThis will be the first in a series of talks and discussions about fundamental issues that shape our understanding of the dharma and practice\, and have practical\, profound implications for our awakening. This evening will focus on the process\, the how\, of resolving uncertainty\, confusion & doubt regarding teachings that seem to be in conflict\, contradictory or paradoxical. \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.
