SUMMARY:(Remote) Sit & Dharma Talk - Dennis Warren - “Insight” (Meaning\, Importance\, Role)
DESCRIPTION:“Insight” – It’s Meaning\, Importance & Role in Practice\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren \nJoin online meeting: https://zoom.us/j/97305516311\nPasscode: 979736\nJoin by phone: 1-669-900-6833 ( Meeting ID: 973 0551 6311 )\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“Insight” is considered the prime motivation and culmination of Buddhist practice because it leads to satisfaction\, peace and happiness. It does this through liberating the mind and body from confusion\, struggle and suffering. The importance of Insight is illustrated by this fact: if you remove Insight from practice\, it is no longer Buddhist practice.\nThe talk and discussion this evening will focus on the meaning\, importance and role of different types of Insight in practice and daily life.\nWe’ll look at the differences between cognitive\, or thought-based\, insight and insight that is based on our own\, non-conceptual\, direct-experience\, particularly our experience in day-to-day events and relationships. We’ll explore those insights that are considered conventional\, relative\, or personal with those traditionally considered universal\, non-personal and “liberating.”\nThe subject matter of this evening is directly relevant and applicable for all stages of practice. \nNOTE: Dennis Warren will be hosted by Benicia Insight Meditation\, offering a one day retreat Saturday\, May 22\, 2021 from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm on Loving-Kindness (Metta) Elaborations & Further Guidance from the Historical Buddha.

All of them have taught at SIM before. The evening will consist of a meditation period followed by a panel allowing each of these teachers to talk about their individual paths getting to this point in their dharma careers and their experiences in the training program. We also plan to have a question session so the community can get to know them better.\nA similar program will be held for graduates of the Insight Meditation Society Teacher Training Program on June 24\, 2021. \n\n*** NOLIWE ALEXANDER has been a student of Vipassana meditation for over 15 years. Throughout this time of deep devotion to the Dharma\, Noliwe has become a dedicated practitioner\, teacher of various sitting groups around the Bay Area\, facilitator of community workshops and Buddhist meditation day longs and class series programs. She is a Life & Business Coach dedicating both her coaching & Dharma practice to the POC\, LGBT\, At Risk and Elder communities. She is a graduate of Spirit Rock’s CDL4 program and completed EBMC’s Commit 2 Dharma program in 2010. Noliwe is participating in the Spirit Rock Teacher Training from 2017-2020.

He has taught mindfulness at the University of Southern California\, been a guest lecturer at UCLA Law School and has taught mindfulness in law firms\, at bar associations and in law firm and corporate settings. Although he was exposed to meditation as a child\, he found his own practice when he started his legal career\, working at firms where the job was extremely stressful.\nGullu completed InsightLA’s one-year Mindfulness Facilitator Training\, Spirit Rock Meditation Center’s 2-year Dedicated Practitioner Program\, the training to teach Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and the 4-year Spirit Rock Meditation Center Teacher Training Program which focuses on teaching in the silent retreat setting. Gullu is a core teacher in the Mindfulness in Law Teacher Training as well as the InsightLA Mindfulness Facilitator Training.\nGullu graduated from Duke University in 1990 and got his J.D. from the University of Southern California Law Center in 1993\, where he was on Law Review. He then worked at two preeminent BigLaw Firms before founding Landmark Law Group\, Inc. in 1998. He was recognized as a California Super Lawyer in 2009.\nGullu is deeply inspired to share meditation as a path to freedom and also as an antidote to stress\, a way to cope more effectively with the challenges of work and life and to inject more sanity\, compassion and wisdom into this world.\n\n\n*** JD DOYLE serves as a Core Teacher at the East Bay Meditation Center in Oakland\, CA\, has completed 8 years of training at Spirit Rock Meditation Center.. JD has practiced Buddhism since 1995 in the U.S.\, Thailand\, and Burma. For over twenty years\, they worked as a public school teacher.

Diane Wilde. \nTopic details:\nAfter a year of pandemic isolation\, we are slowly returning to “normal.” Many of us are now vaccinated\, or will be soon\, we are venturing out with friends and we might look forward to travel\, eating out\, movies\, or long absent hugs. However\, “normal” isn’t easily defined. Each individual is unique due to biology\, personality and the causes and conditions that make up a life. Societies are different depending on values\, cultural mores\, spiritual traditions\, political ideologies\, and historical background. So\, is there a universal “normal?” Is “normal” an achievable state? We will discuss what the Buddha and contemporary teachers have to say about striving for normalcy.

Enter the amount you’d like to give and 100% of your donation will be shared with Vance Pryor. \n \nVANCE PRYOR\, PsyD\, began insight meditation in 1998. He has been deeply influenced by the teachings of Sayadaw U Pandita and Sayadaw U Tejaniya. His training to become a teacher has been supported by the mentorship of Steve Armstrong and Kamala Masters. He is currently participating in IMS’s 2017-2021 Teacher Training Program. \n  \nTopic Details: \nThe five mental states of sensory desire\, aversion\, sloth/torpor\, restlessness\, and doubt are some of the most common experiences that arise over the course of a meditation period. They are collectively referred to as the hindrances\, because they hinder the clear seeing which leads to insight into the nature of the mind and body experience. Learning how to skillfully recognize\, understand\, and engage with the 5 hindrances is integral to the path of meditation\, and will be the focus of this Thursday night’s discussion and reflection period.

SUMMARY:(Remote) Sit & Dharma Talk - Dennis Warren - Loving Kindness
DESCRIPTION:Loving-Kindness (Metta) – Elaborations & Further Guidance from the Historical Buddha\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren\n\nJoin online meeting: https://zoom.us/j/94777805204\nPasscode: 606098\nJoin by phone: 1-669-900-6833 ( Meeting ID: 947 7780 5204 )\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:\nOur usual understanding of Loving-Kindness (Metta) comes from the Historical Buddha’s Karaniya Metta Sutta. In contrast\, the most popular and widely used instructions on how to practice Loving-Kindness were not taught by the Historical Buddha. They were developed by others\, and adopted as skillful forms of practice\, long after his death.\nIt turns out the Historical Buddha provided elaboration and further guidance on the experience of Loving-Kindness\, what it is and how to develop our capacity to experience it in a number of other talks. These are a value source of help in gaining a fuller\, deeper\, richer understanding of this pivotal quality of heart and the role it can play in our individual lives\, in community and in the larger world. This is what we’ll explore Thursday evening.\nYou are encouraged to read this Karaniya Metta Sutta – The Metta Sutta several times\, s l o w l y\, as preparation for this evening. It’s well worth the effort. Topic headings have been added to support reading and understanding the sutta.\nThe subject matter of this evening is appropriate for all stages of practice. All that is necessary is showing up with an open\, curious mind.

Enter the amount you’d like to give and at least 75% of your donation will be shared with Walt Opie. \nTopic details: \nWhen the generous lay supporter of the Buddha\, Anathapindika\, was ill near the end of his life\, he was visited by the renowned monk Sariputta who offered him what was then considered an advanced training (for lay people anyway) on not clinging. In this talk\, we will explore and discuss this teaching and compare it with some other teachings in a similar vein. You are welcome to read the sutta ahead of time (Majjhima Nikaya 143)\, although that is certainly not required. \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. In addition\, he is currently a trainee in the Insight Meditation Society (IMS) Teacher Training program based in Barre\, MA. Visit https://www.waltopie.com/ for more information. \n

Conceit in Buddhism can mean feeling superior\, inferior\, or the same as others. In other words\, it is our habitual comparison of ourselves to others. Conceit is also the delusion that our experiences ARE ourselves\, and that our self has boundaries and solid substance. According to the Pali canon\, conceit is among the last defilements to fall away before full awakening. It is subtle and difficult to observe within ourselves… much easier to see in others! When we begin to experience conceit as it really is\, we also begin understand and experience anatta: “No permanent self”.
