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.

SUMMARY:(Remote) Sit & Dharma Talk - Seth Castleman- Big Mind\, Small Mind
DESCRIPTION:Talk Topic: Big Mind and Small Mind\nSit & Dharma Talk with Visiting Teacher Rabbi Seth Castleman \nHow we can move out of our small-mindedness into a more expansive “Big Mind.” \nJoin online meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81560805271\nPasscode: 944656\nJoin by phone: 1-669-900-9128 ( Meeting ID: 815 6080 5271 )\nFor tips and instructions on how to participate\, check this news blog.\nThursday Night Talk Dana\n[give_form id=”16677″ 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 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.

Enter the amount you’d like to give and 75% of your donation will be shared with Rich Howard. \nTopic details:\nMindful awareness is at the core of our meditation practice. When cultivated properly\, awareness is joined and supported by other mental factors that arise naturally: clear seeing\, clear comprehension\, tranquility\, acceptance\, joy\, and eventually non-attachment\, compassion\, equanimity\, and wisdom. We will explore the role of awareness in our practice and look more deeply at this circle of “friends” that accompany awareness.\nThis evening will stand alone and will also serve as an introduction to the daylong on Saturday August 29. This day of practice will be in the style of Sayadaw U Tejaniya\, a contemporary Burmese monk\, with an open schedule conducive to home practice. It should work well on Zoom.

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:\nBuddhism is unique among spiritual traditions by putting emphasis on both Faith and Doubt. Both are necessary for a balanced practice that benefits ourselves and others. Too much faith encourages certainty without examination of experience. It can lead to mind states such as “if only I practice a lot more\, everything will be fine.” Too much doubt can be paralyzing. “Why do I bother? My practice is going nowhere. Nothing has changed!” Knowing how to balance these two extremes brings us to an authentic practice. This helps us not just in our personal practice\, but aids in our interaction in the world which seems to insist on extremes at this present time.

SUMMARY:(Remote) *Sit & Dharma Talk - Dennis Warren- Who and What Gets Included or Excluded
DESCRIPTION:Who and What Gets Included or Excluded? Answer that Enrich or Diminish All of Us\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren \nJoin online meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86975408567\nPasscode: 418133\nJoin by phone: 1-669-900-9128 ( Meeting ID: 869 7540 8567 )\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. \nTalk topic details: \nTwo simple questions lie at the center of our spiritual practices\, daily life and the “cultural” conflicts we are facing: Who and what gets included? Who and what gets excluded?\nThe answers to these questions influence our intentions\, perceptions\, choices\, and relationships. They shape identity\, education\, social and economic status\, access to power and our health and well-being. They determine how we participate\, and how fully we are allowed to participate\, in family\, organizations and the American experience itself. They touch every dimension of our inner and outer lives.\nHow do we work with these questions of inclusion from a mindful and caring perspective? In our inner life? In outer life? In both our spiritual and real-life challenges of being fallible\, while simultaneously seeking to be more fully human and inclusive? The evening will explore the special role inclusion plays in Buddhist psychology and practice.\nPart of our evening will explore a caring approach to understanding and working with the hot\, controversial cultural issues we’re all facing from a mindfulness perspective. This will include the meaning of “systemic” and “systematic” from the perspective of Buddhist psychology. \nIt would be very helpful if you view the following in preparation for that part of our session: \n\nStone Ghosts of the South – Documentary – 27:14 Minutes (https://youtu.be/K7AHm6Az_Ss)\nDiscussion of Ghosts of the South – 8:21 minutes (https://youtu.be/UAFSESwDVcY)\n\n(The videos shown below fail to play\, try switching to a different browser and/or playing the videos using the links above.)

We may frame it as a dramatic experience\, “a flash of lightning in a summer cloud” as it says in the Diamond Sutra. We may hold an expectation that it is only available in settings far from our daily lives\, on pilgrimage to a holy land or in extended retreat at a meditation center. What if it is available in the most ordinary of circumstances? What if we are setting the conditions for insight in the most mundane activities and familiar places of our lives? What if we let our expectations drop away and came into just this moment? In this evening’s talk and discussion\, we will explore the terrain of the ordinary.

Each day brings another jarring event\, both sociologically\, medically and personally. It’s truly revolutionary what’s taking place. The Buddha lived in revolutionary times as well\, and there are some parallels which can provide guidance during these challenging times. How do we live lives of meaning when fear prevents us from socializing? How do we contend with those with whom we firmly disagree? How can we welcome others not just into our sangha\, but into our lives? Essentially\, we are looking for ways to create a kinder wiser society which is beginning to emerge from the current chaos. It’s a real revolution!
