SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Diane Wilde - Are You Listening?
DESCRIPTION:Are You Listening?\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Rev. Diane Wilde\n* Hybrid events can be attended via Zoom or in-person at the Sacramento Dharma Center\nJoin online meeting: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/89174387201\nPasscode: 218936\nJoin by phone: 1-669-900-6833 ( Meeting ID: 891 7438 7201 )\nFor tips and instructions to join the meeting\, check this news blog. \n\nThursday Night Talk Dana \n[give_form id=”9758″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”]\n“Generosity is the virtue that leads to peace.” – The Historical Buddha\nWe recognize that donating by cash or check at the time you attend this event may not always be convenient for you.

Diane Wilde. \n\nTopic details: \nDid you know that listening is a learned skill?  Unlike speech which comes naturally to us\, REALLY listening isn’t an innate trait. Why is that? Listening requires taming the ego-driven addiction to being center stage\, and trying to take over another’s “air time”. To speak is to articulate words that convey meaning\, and to listen is to understand the true intent behind words being spoken. When the Buddha spoke about Right Speech\, he was including both sides of the communication equation; skillful means of intentional speech as well as intentional listening.  Skillful listening means listening mindfully to others\, especially when we habitually discount what “they” have to say. It also means listening deeply to our own innate wisdom\, which we too frequently ignore because it may not align with our long-held beliefs about ourselves. Learning how to deeply listen is a skill that changes attitudes and beliefs as well as enhancing empathy and community.  Deep listening is a great skill to learn for the new year.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Rich Howard - Beginnings and Endings
DESCRIPTION:Beginnings and Endings\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Rich Howard \n* Hybrid events can be attended via Zoom or in-person at the Sacramento Dharma Center. The teacher will present on location.\nJoin online meeting: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/89485691687\nPasscode: 114183\nJoin by phone: 1-669-900-6833 ( Meeting ID:  894 8569 1687 )\nFor tips and instructions to join the meeting\, check this news blog. \nThursday Night Talk Dana\n[give_form id=”10304″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] “Generosity is the virtue that leads to peace.” – The Historical Buddha\nFor remote meetings\, please use the form above to donate by credit card or your PayPal account. Enter the amount you’d like to give and 75% of your donation will be shared with Rich Howard. \nTopic details: \nWhile the end of a calendar year is somewhat arbitrary\, it offers us a chance to look back on the previous year and to look forward to the year to come. In terms of practice\, we can think of these activities as Wise Reflection and Wise Intention. For this evening\, we will be using a beginning – the first section of the Dhammapada\, which Jack Kornfield calls “the most beloved of all Buddhist texts\, both poetic and profound.” Titled “Dichotomies” in Gil Fronsdal’s translation (Shambhala\, 2008)\, this text contains reminders of the power of our thoughts and actions\, and discernment in choosing a path of happiness and away from quarrels. \nThe placement of a text at the beginning of a collection was not arbitrary when the Pali Canon was assembled – important texts like this one were intentionally placed first. We will take a slow tour through this poem and see what it offers for our year-end reflection and intention. Feel free to have your own copy of the Dhammapada at hand; it is often fruitful to see how different translators approach a text.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Dennis Warren - Beginner’s Mind
DESCRIPTION:Establishing the Wonderful Quality of “Beginner’s Mind”\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren\n* Hybrid events can be attended via Zoom or in-person at the Sacramento Dharma Center. The teacher will present via Zoom.\nJoin online meeting: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82802511823\nPasscode: 627511\nJoin by phone: 1-669-900-6833 ( Meeting ID: 828 0251 1823 )\nFor tips and instructions on how to participate\, check this news blog.\nThursday Night Talk Dana\n[give_form id=”10310″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] “Generosity is the virtue that leads to peace.” – The Historical Buddha\nFor remote meetings\, please use the form above to donate by credit card or your PayPal account. Enter the amount you’d like to give and 75% of your donation will be shared with Dennis Warren.\nTopic details:\n“Beginner’s Mind” is a wonderful quality of mind. It has the potential to significantly improve our practice of meditation and the quality of our mindfulness and experience in daily life. Despite the wide spread (and often confusing) coverage it receives in Buddhist\, business\, athletic\, therapeutic and pop culture publications\, it is something that remains elusive for many of us.\nThis evening will explore the following practical questions:\n\n 	What is Beginner’s Mind\, really?\n 	Why is it considered so valuable?\n 	Why does it seem elusive?\n 	How do we establish it in meditation practice? And in daily life?\n\nThe subject matter of this evening is appropriate for all stages of practice.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Walt Opie - Feeding on Joy
DESCRIPTION:Feeding on Joy\nSit & Dharma Talk with Visiting Senior Teacher Walt Opie\n* Hybrid events can be attended via Zoom or in-person at the Sacramento Dharma Center\n\nJoin online meeting: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/87048503535\nPasscode: 717418\nJoin by phone: 1-669-900-6833 ( Meeting ID: 870 4850 3535 )\nFor tips and instructions on how to participate\, check this news blog.\nThursday Night Talk Dana\n[give_form id=”14984″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”]\n“Generosity is the virtue that leads to peace.” – The Historical Buddha\nFor remote meetings\, please use the form above to donate by credit card or your PayPal account. Enter the amount you’d like to give and 100% of your donation will be shared with Walt Opie.\nTopic details:  There is a discourse that describes the Buddha going on his alms round one day and not receiving any food to eat. Instead of getting down at the lack of food though\, he declared that he took delight in being self-sufficient\, and he said he would “keep feeding on joy.” The type of joy he meant relates to deep states of meditation. However\, we can also feed on the “subtle joy of being in the present moment” when we are practicing diligent mindfulness. And further\, we can take delight in wholesome forms of joy and happiness like cultivating more gratitude and generosity\, especially during the holiday season.\n\nWALT OPIE was first introduced to insight meditation in 1993 at Spirit Rock and began attending regular residential retreats in 2005. He is a graduate of both the Spirit Rock Community Dharma Leaders’ (CDL4) training program and the Sati Center Buddhist Chaplaincy program. He has led sitting groups for people in recovery since 2011. Walt also serves as a volunteer chaplain with Buddhist Pathways Prison Project (BP3) at Solano state prison in Vacaville\, CA.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Dennis Warren - Establishing Mindfulness
DESCRIPTION:The Historical Buddha’s Guidance on Establishing Mindfulness In Meditation\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren \n* Hybrid events can be attended via Zoom or in-person at the Sacramento Dharma Center.\nJoin online meeting: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/85067961606\nPasscode: 970006\nJoin by phone: 1-669-900-6833 ( Meeting ID: 850 6796 1606 )\nFor tips and instructions on how to participate\, check this news blog. \nThursday Night Talk Dana\n[give_form id=”10310″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] “Generosity is the virtue that leads to peace.” – The Historical Buddha\nFor remote meetings\, please use the form above to donate by credit card or your PayPal account. Enter the amount you’d like to give and 75% of your donation will be shared with Dennis Warren. \nTopic details:\nThe Historical Buddha’s formula for being skillful in meditation starts with “establishing Mindfulness” as a foundational element. This guidance points to the fact that the kind of Mindfulness needed in meditation does not just happen or appear by itself. It is something that needs to be intentionally established\, monitored and sustained every time we meditate in order for our meditation practices to be skillful.\nDuring this evening we’ll take a hands-on-look at: What does it mean to “establish Mindfulness” in our meditation practices? What does one do to establish Mindfulness? How do we know if it has been established? If established\, how is it sustained?\nThese are basic\, practical\, experiential questions that provide a framework for helping us evaluate the soundness and quality of our meditation practice.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Diane Wilde - Equanimity
DESCRIPTION:EQUANIMITY: It’s complicated! Early Buddhism Taught Three Different Types\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Rev. Diane Wilde\n* Hybrid events can be attended via Zoom or in-person at the Sacramento Dharma Center.

If that’s the case\, please use the form below to donate by credit card or your PayPal account. Enter the amount you’d like to give and 75% of your donation will be shared with Rev. Diane Wilde. \nTopic details: \nAccording to Bhikkhu Analayo\, early Buddhist teachings suggest that “equanimity” as a practice\, is not monolithic. In fact\, in the earliest teachings\, there are three types of equanimity\, and one of them (as defined in a particular instance) should NOT be developed but abandoned. This may be surprising as equanimity is often referred to as the “crown jewel” of Buddhist practice. The person who develops equanimity (as it is normally defined) is said to be in balance\, not clinging to greed or aversion\, and sees clearly. It is viewed as a necessary mental state for anyone who wishes to abandon suffering. A recent research paper by Bhikkhu Analayo suggests that equanimity is much more nuanced than most of us have realized. We will discuss the various modes of equanimity and how they relate to our practice in today’s world.

Enter the amount you’d like to give and 75% of your donation will be shared with Seth Castleman. \nRABBI SETH CASTLEMAN is a teacher\, writer\, and storyteller with over twenty years experience teaching mindfulness and spiritual practice. 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 - The 3 Trainings
DESCRIPTION:The Three Trainings: A Question\, a Dialogue\, and a Choice\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Rich Howard \n* Hybrid events can be attended via Zoom or in-person at the Sacramento Dharma Center\nJoin online meeting: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/84726026792  Passcode: 448799\nJoin by phone: 1-669-900-6833 ( Meeting ID:  847 2602 6792 ) \nThe three trainings of the eightfold path are the training in moral integrity (sila)\, the training in meditation (bhavana)\, and the training in wisdom (pañña). They are taught in many places in the Pali Canon\, nowhere more powerfully than in the Samaññaphala Sutta (Digha Nikaya 2). This sutta\, the story of an encounter between the historical Buddha and King Ajatasattu\, contains a survey of the other philosophical traditions of the Buddha’s time\, a summary of the essence of the Buddha’s teachings illustrated with beautiful similes\, and (spoiler alert!) a sad refusal by the King to accept this teaching as the basis for transforming his life. Inspired by two chapters on this sutta (characterized as “almost a Greek tragedy”) in Krishnan Venkatesh’s book “Do You Know Who You Are?” and a book-length essay by Mu Soeng “The Question of King Ajatasattu” (“rightly called one of the most important texts in the Pali Canon”)\, we will explore in depth how we might answer the King’s question reframed for ourselves: what is the fruit of practice\, and what are we willing to do to attain it? This evening’s introduction will help prepare for the SIM daylong on October 30\, although both events will stand alone as opportunities to look at the teachings\, our practice\, and our lives. \n[give_form id=”10304″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] \n
