SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Tony Bernhard - Going Forth
DESCRIPTION:Going Forth\nSit & Dharma Talk with Visiting Teacher Tony Bernhard \nHow might householders understand the idea of going forth into a life of the dharma today? How might it be different from “going forth into homelessness” as it was understood in the Buddha’s time? In what ways might it be easier — and in what ways more challenging — for us than for the monastics of earlier times? \nTony Bernhard is a graduate of Spirit Rock’s first Community Dharma Leadership training program\, and the Sati Center’s Chaplaincy program. He is also a Sati Center board member. Along with being the founder/ teacher at Davis Middle Path\, he offers his unique perspective on the Dharma throughout Northern California. \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 - Meaning and Practice of “Investigation”
DESCRIPTION:The Meaning and Practice of “Investigation” in Insight Practice\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren \nThe principal purpose of Insight Practice is the creation of conditions that lead to spontaneous\, intuitive Insight that liberates the mind and heart from suffering. This occurs through “Investigation.” \nAn exploration of the meaning of Investigation involves an examination and understanding of the most fundamental and radical viewpoints expressed in the teachings of the historical Buddha. Likewise\, it involves how those viewpoints are operationalized into the Buddha’s instruction for practicing meditation and paying attention to our experience in everyday life. \nDennis’ talk this evening will explore these topics and the challenges they represent to evaluating our own individual meditation and daily life practices. The talk will use the Buddha’s teachings on the “Seven Factors of Awakening” as a jumping off point for discussion and exploration of this fascinating topic. It would be helpful to review the first 12 pages of the article by the same name by Piyadassi Thera which can be found at https://accesstoinsight.org/lib/authors/piyadassi/wheel001.pdf. \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 - Starting Over AGAIN
DESCRIPTION:Starting Over AGAIN\nNo blame. No shame.  Let’s start again.\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor Diane Wilde \nFrequently\, we need to remind ourselves about this practice; what we are doing and why are we doing it.  It is so easy to slip into the stress and demands of everyday life\, and put meditation and mindfulness WAY in the background… “When I have time.” By the time we get back to it\, if we ever do\, we may have lost our way.  Where should we start\, AGAIN?  What do I need to do now?  Am I failure as a Buddhist practitioner?  Have my previous efforts been lost? \nTonight we will discuss the basics of this practice… the Three Trainings of virtuous behavior (sila)\, meditation or concentration (samadhi) and discernment or wisdom (panna)\, which make up the map that the Buddha encourages us to follow.  Whether we follow a linear path or determine an area which needs more attention\, we are practicing mindfulness and meditation and we are starting over again.  The wonderful thing about the Dharma is when we focus on one aspect of the path\, it automatically brings in the others.  Tonight\, let’s start again. \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.
