SUMMARY:Sit & Dharma Talk - Meg Gawler - Tastes of Freedom: Poems from the Therīgāthā
DESCRIPTION:Tastes of Freedom: Poems from the Therīgāthā” – the poems of awakening of the Buddha’s first female disciples. A central message of this canonical text is that Nibbāna – complete release – is possible for practitioners of all sorts: women or men\, lay or monastic\, old or young\, rich or poor\, from all classes of society including slaves\, from many different walks of life from the queen to the prostitute\, for those gifted in meditation but also for those with wild minds unable to concentrate\, and for individuals lost in grief\, despair\, or even madness. This ancient text was the subject of Meg’s Master’s thesis\, which examined how the Therīgāthā might be used by Dharma teachers today to inspire practitioners\, particularly in regard to the Third Noble Truth\, the truth of freedom. \nMeg Gawler began practicing Buddhism in 1968 as a disciple of the Zen Master\, Shunryu Suzuki Roshi\, including over three years of monastic training. She earned a Master’s in Applied Ecology\, moved to Europe\, pursued an international career in nature conservation and human development\, and began practicing in the Theravāda tradition. She has trained with Gil Fronsdal\, Jack Kornfield\, Joseph Goldstein\, and others. Authorized as a Dharma teacher by Jack Kornfield and then by Gil Fronsdal\, Meg teaches retreats in both English and French in Switzerland\, and serves as a guest teacher at the Insight Meditation Center and elsewhere. Meg also holds a Master’s in Buddhist Studies\, specializing in early Theravāda studies. In addition\, she teaches Radiant Heart Qigong in the tradition of Teja Bell. \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 - Rich Howard - Reconciliation: The Truth Beyond Forgiveness
DESCRIPTION:Reconciliation: The Truth Beyond Forgiveness\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Rich Howard \nReconciliation is a process that has been used in areas torn by violence\, from Argentina to Yugoslavia. Perhaps the best known example is the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of South Africa led by Bishop Desmond Tutu. The website of the Greensboro (North Carolina) Truth and Reconciliation Commission\, the first in the United States\, defines the process this way: “Truth and reconciliation promotes the belief that confronting and reckoning with the past is necessary for successful transitions from conflict\, resentment and tension to peace and connectedness.” Does this not sound like the process each of us needs to engage in our own meditation practice? You may prepare by reading an article by Thanissaro Bhikkhu: \n“Reconciliation\, Right & Wrong“. Access to Insight (BCBS Edition)\, 18 July 2011. The article states\, “Reconciliation — patisaraniya-kamma — means a return to amicability\, and that requires more than forgiveness. It requires the reestablishing of trust.” \nOn this evening\, we will explore reconciliation\, truth\, and forgiveness\, in our own hearts and the wider world. \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 - Laura Rosenthal - The Five Ethical Precepts
DESCRIPTION:The Five Ethical Precepts – a Guide on Our Inner Journey\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Member\, Laura Rosenthal \nIn Buddhist understanding\, ethical conduct is one of three interwoven trainings that form the integrated “eightfold path” of practice. The other two trainings are mind-training (including awareness and collectedness of mind) and wisdom (insight). The three trainings are not separate and independent. They are “folds” of a unified practice. Ethical conduct facilitates\, and is facilitated by\, awareness and wisdom. In tonight’s conversation\, we will explore\, among other questions\, the way practicing with the “five precepts” is part and parcel of cultivating awareness and insight\, including a deepening ability to recognize the motivations behind our mental\, verbal and physical actions. Join longtime SIM participant Laura Rosenthal for a discussion of The Five Ethical Precepts – a Guide on Our Inner Journey. \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
