SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Diane Wilde - What about God?
DESCRIPTION:Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Rev. Diane Wilde \n\n\n\nTalk topic: What about God?\n\n\n\n* Hybrid events can be attended via Zoom or in-person at the Sacramento Dharma Center\n\n\n\nIt seems appropriate to discuss a “supreme being” and its compatibility with Buddhist practice — or not. The holiest seasons in the Judeo-Christian and Muslim calendars are approaching in April. Passover\, Easter and Ramadan celebrations of God in his/her various manifestations will all be taking place. \n\n\n\nThere is a widespread assumption that a person can’t be a Buddhist and also believe in a supreme being. Yet at SIM and other Buddhist sanghas\, many practitioners often embrace the Buddha’s path and simultaneously maintain a strong allegiance to a belief system whose purpose is the worship and celebration of a “supreme being.” For many\, the apparent “atheism” in Buddhism\, and personal belief in god can cause confusion. For others there is no problem at all\, with a comfortable mixing of both. In Buddhism itself\, there are “gods” that are an important component of the culture. We will discuss them as well as the Buddha’s teachings on a supreme being and what a few contemporary teachers think about this issue. Should make for a lively discussion! \n\n\n\nJoin online meeting: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/88314627748 \, Passcode: 066470Join by phone: 1-669-900-6833 ( Meeting ID: 883 1462 7748 ) \n\n\n\nThursday Night Talk Dana \n\n\n[give_form id=”9758″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] \n\n\n\n“Generosity is the virtue that leads to peace.” – The Historical BuddhaPlease use the form above to donate by credit card or your PayPal account.

Castleman is trained in both the Jewish and Buddhist traditions. After 20 years of meditation practice and two years of silent retreat as a lay-person in the US\, India\, and Nepal and as a monk in Burma\, Seth was trained as a teacher by Jack Kornfield at Spirit Rock Meditation Center in Woodacre\, CA. He was authorized as a meditation/dharma teacher in 2008. Following eight years of rabbinical studies in the US and Israel/Palestine\, Castleman was ordained in 2011 as a rabbi by one Orthodox\, one Conservative\, and one Reform rabbi. Castleman has published in two dozen newspapers\, periodicals\, and anthologies on the intersection of contemplative practice and social justice and the transformational power of brokenness. As a storyteller\, Seth has performed in theaters\, on radio and television\, and at countless kitchen tables. Seth uses myth\, storytelling\, and humor as central tools in his teaching and counseling work. Seth Castleman is married to Reverend Elizabeth Griswold\, making them\, quite possibly\, the only rabbi—Christian minister married couple in the US. Seth and Elizabeth live in Davis\, CA with their three children.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Rich Howard - Compassion Fatigue
DESCRIPTION:Talk topic: Compassion Fatigue\n\n\n\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Rich Howard \n\n\n\n* Hybrid events can be attended via Zoom or onsite at the Sacramento Dharma Center \n\n\n\nAs practitioners of mindful awareness\, we want to remain openhearted to the suffering in the world. Our practice teaches us to turn toward conditions as they are\, without needing to avoid unpleasant sensations\, emotions\, or thoughts. This openheartedness leads naturally to compassion\, the impulse to take action on behalf of those who are experiencing suffering. However\, Western psychology has recognized a condition called “compassion fatigue\,” the “secondary trauma” that can result from helping others and that may lead to diminished capacity to empathize or feel compassion. Given all the suffering in the world and our access to it via global media\, we may be overwhelmed and start to shut down to the world and those close to us. This evening\, we will take a look at how our practice may help us recognize compassion fatigue as it develops and maintain an open heart. \n\n\n\nJoin online meeting: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/83869249314 \,  Passcode: 053925Join by phone: 1-669-900-6833 ( Meeting ID:  838 6924 9314 ) \n\n\n[give_form id=”10304″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] \n\n\n\nPlease use the form above to donate by credit card or your PayPal account.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Dennis Warren - Revisiting Fundamentals: “Right” Understanding
DESCRIPTION:Revisiting Fundamentals: “Right” Understanding\n\n\n\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren.\n\n\n\n* Hybrid events can be attended via Zoom or onsite at the Sacramento Dharma Center. The teacher will present via Zoom. \n\n\n\nDeciding what is the “Right” or skillful thing to do can be confusing when we are suffering. On one hand\, the modern interpretation of the Historical Buddha’s teachings seems to offer an endless number of potential methods and solutions. On the other\, what method or approach is actually effective in a particular situation can be elusive. The Buddha’s teachings on Right Understanding describe a straight forward\, practical and helpful model for working with confusion\, struggle and suffering. These teachings become a powerful set of tools for living\, problem solving and growth when they are combined with the teachings on Right Intention and Right Effort. Together\, they provide short term strategies for working with the immediate\, real-time challenges in our lives; as well as strategies for pointing the mind\, body and heart into long term satisfaction and peace.   The subject matter of this evening is appropriate for all levels of practice. \n\n\n\nThursday Night Talk Dana[give_form id=”10310″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] “Generosity is the virtue that leads to peace.” – The Historical BuddhaPlease use the form above to donate by credit card or your PayPal account.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Diane Wilde -  The Paradox of Shame
DESCRIPTION:Talk topic: The Paradox of Shame\n\n\n\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Rev. Diane Wilde\n\n\n\n* Hybrid events can be attended via Zoom or in-person at the Sacramento Dharma Center. The teacher plans to attend in-person.\n\n\n\nWe all experience shame.  It is a universal emotion with some social scientists and psychologists saying it is an innate human trait\, and others insisting it evolved within our social fabric. It is considered an absolutely essential emotion in some societies\, and yet\, is also frequently considered mentally damaging. The causes of shame have dramatically changed\, from lack of adherence to prescriptive social mores of the past\, to shaming of individuals on social media today. The Buddha also taught about shame (hiri) and its companion\, the dread of shame (ottapa). Shame and the reasons for shame as taught by the Buddha are quite different then the “shaming” we experience in contemporary society. We will discuss this complex emotion\, its history and why it is an important\, yet often overlooked Buddhist teaching. \n\n\n\nThursday Night Talk Dana[give_form id=”9758″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] “Generosity is the virtue that leads to peace.” – The Historical BuddhaPlease use the form above to donate by credit card or your PayPal account.
