SUMMARY:(Remote) *Sit & Dharma Talk - Diane Wilde - Forgiveness…
DESCRIPTION:Forgiveness… What if you are not forgiven?\nA Discussion and a True Story\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Rev. Diane Wilde and guest Edwin Paragas\nJoin online meeting: https://zoom.us/j/92579615275\nPasscode: 668643\nJoin by phone: 1-669-900-6833 ( Meeting ID: 925 7961 5275 )\nFor tips and instructions on how to participate\, check this news blog. \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. 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:\nPsychologists generally define forgiveness as a conscious\, deliberate decision to release feelings of resentment or vengeance toward a person or group who has harmed you\, regardless of whether they actually deserve your forgiveness or not. It’s a state of mind that our culture and most faith traditions hold as a positive and worthwhile aspiration. Buddhism sees forgiveness a little differently. We will discuss those differences and the practicality of the Buddhist definition of forgiveness. \nEdwin Paragas was recently released from twenty years of incarceration beginning when he was sixteen years old. He will tell the story of his own search for forgiveness from his victim’s family and his life now as a returning citizen.

SUMMARY:(Remote) Sit & Dharma Talk - Dennis Warren - Exploring Equanimity
DESCRIPTION:OK\, The Election is Over – The Fantasy Of A Magic Answer To All Our Problems is Dead – What Do We Do Now? \nExploring Equanimity\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren \nJoin online meeting: https://zoom.us/j/94486100688\nPasscode: 544581\nJoin by phone: 1-669-900-6833 ( Meeting ID: 944 8610 0688 )\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:\nIt’s pretty clear now that the world we live in has changed. This is hard to deny even for those of us who are really good at denial. For many\, it is a world filled with confusion\, uncertainty\, resistance\, anxiety and fear for the future – the future of our families\, our country\, the world.\nHow to deal with this reality in a way that allows us to experience a sense of ease\, purposefulness\, empoweredness\, togetherness and kindness may not at first be clear.\nDuring this evening we’ll explore the meaning of “equanimity” as a working life premise\, as an operational reality\, as a powerful tool in the face of our current challenges\, sorrows and joys.

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:\nBeing wrong: It is a fact of life that is often difficult to admit to others\, as well as to ourselves. There are a myriad of lessons\, teachings and inspiring examples of how to be successful in all facets of our life. We are so conditioned to be right\, it is a jarring affront when we find ourselves on the “wrong side” of a situation or opinion. To compensate for this assault on the ego\, we may even have developed rationalizing strategies in order to minimize or even negate being wrong. True acceptance of our mistakes and our own imperfections can lead to a healing of relationships\, alleviation of much personal stress and may even open up to a much deeper understanding of “not self.”

SUMMARY:(Remote) Sit & Dharma Talk - Dennis Warren - Where Are We Going?
DESCRIPTION:Where Are We Going?\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren \nJoin online meeting: https://zoom.us/j/99650304416\nPasscode: 661332\nJoin by phone: 1-669-900-6833 ( Meeting ID: 996 5030 4416 )\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:\nIt’s good to step back from time to time and try to place our lives in context. This is one way for us to get a clear picture of where we are headed and whether our meditation and spiritual practices are helping us head in that direction.\nThis night will focus on two familiar situations we regularly face in meditation\, practice and daily life. This examination should be interesting and helpful no matter your level of knowledge or experience.\nWe’ll also take a hands-on look at two realities that our minds almost always want to treat as theory or philosophy\, rather than real life\, tangible\, useful experiences: Annica (impermanence) and Anatta (no-self.) What are these two experiences as real-life events? What relevance do they have to our relationships and everyday activities? How can they help us live a richer\, fuller\, deeper\, more vivid life?\nThis is what we’ll explore Thursday night.

Public safety officials recommend having a “Go Bag” packed and ready with batteries\, a crank radio\, first aid supplies\, extra socks\, and other essentials. Maybe we should take this idea and think about what to bring with us from our “toolkit” of meditation practices. What is essential? What would you want to have with you to protect your mind in any circumstance? Be prepared to share the practices and essential teachings that you have found most useful.

SUMMARY:(Remote) Sit & Dharma Talk - Rich Howard - Turning Toward or Away
DESCRIPTION:Meditation Practice: Turning Toward or Turning Away?\nSit & Dharma Talk with Community Teacher Rich Howard \nJoin online meeting: https://zoom.us/j/99275673795\nPasscode: 753319\nJoin by phone: 1-669-900-6833 ( Meeting ID: 992 7567 3795 )\nFor tips and instructions on how to participate\, 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:\nIn a 2017 article\, Naropa University Professors Carla Sherrell and Judith Simmer-Brown warned about using meditation practice to avoid pain: “We take up meditation as a way to avoid or dull the pain\, and only feel it “works” if we feel better. This approach is an expression of a prevailing culture that quickly takes a pharmaceutical to alleviate pain or pours a drink to numb anxiety. This kind of response to pain favors meditation practices that feature detachment\, peace\, bliss\, and absolutist thinking as defense mechanisms against anxiety\, fear\, and anguish.” Yet\, our world right now is full of anxiety\, fear\, and anguish. How do we avoid the temptation to turn away from the painful aspects of our personal and societal lives? How do we turn toward our experience and the harsh realities playing out in our community\, nation\, and world? How do we find insight and engagement in the midst of chaos and injustice? We will explore these difficult but essential questions on this evening of practice and inquiry. Bring an open mind and a willingness to look at the motivation for practice.
