DESCRIPTION:Ordinary\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Rich Howard\nJoin online meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86939103165\nPasscode: 936791\nJoin by phone: 1-669-900-9128 ( Meeting ID: 869 3910 3165 )\nFor tips and instructions on how to join\, check this news blog. \nThursday Night Talk Dana\n“Generosity is the virtue that leads to peace.” – The Historical Buddha \n[give_form id=”10304″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”]\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: \nInsight is central to our practice of mindful awareness at SIM\, as it is central to our name. 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.

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:\nWe are living through an incredible period\, with impermanence being displayed in all its glory on a daily basis. 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!

Enter the amount you’d like to give and 75% of your donation will be shared with Rich Howard. \nTopic details: \nThe word “freedom” means different things to different people\, depending on what limits are imposed on them. Currently\, many people are calling for “freedom” from the public health guidelines that ask us to keep physical distance from others and not gather in large groups. The idea of “freedom” in the Buddhist psychology has a very different context. For many\, the aspiration for practicing meditative awareness is freedom from greed hatred and delusion\, freedom from “suffering.” This freedom has the potential to lead to cessation\, “the unshakeable liberation of mind.” Let’s explore some meanings of freedom\, the ways recommended by the Buddha for approaching and finding freedom\, and how we might apply these teachings to our current cirumstances.

Enter the amount you’d like to give and 75% of your donation will be shared with Dennis Warren. \nTopic details:  The Historical Buddha said that one of the rarest persons to appear on this planet is one who is grateful and who responds with an urge to help. That’s quite a statement given the Buddha’s habit of understatement.\nIf the appearance of Grateful people on the planet is so rare\, why does it seem to be such an unrated and infrequently taught quality of mind? What is Gratefulness from a Buddhist perspective? Why is it so important?\nWe’ll explore these questions\, specific ways to experiment with bringing more Gratefulness into our lives\, and the role Gratefulness plays in encouraging and supporting Loving-Kindness\, Compassion\, Equanimity and Joy.

SUMMARY:(Remote) *Sit & Dharma Talk - Rich Howard
DESCRIPTION:Talk topic is “TBD” (really)\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Rich Howard\nJoin online meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89852631380\nPasscode: 730143\nJoin by phone: 1-669-900-6833 ( Meeting ID: 898 5263 1380 )\nFor tips and instructions on how to use the access methods listed above\, check this news blog. \nThursday Night Talk Dana\n[give_form id=”10304″ 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 your donation will be shared with Rich Howard and SIM. \nTopic details: TBD is an acronym that stands for “To Be Determined.” So many aspects of our lives right now are “to be determined”: When will schools re-open? When will a vaccine for COVID-19 be developed? When will I be able to visit [insert your favorite person’s name here]? When will I be able to go to a retreat center? The answers to all these questions and so many more will flow from a complex set of causes and conditions over which we have no control. So\, how does that feel? How can we use the practice of meditative awareness to develop a sense of ease with changing and uncertain conditions? How can we apply both wisdom and compassion to work with this question? \nWe will also explore an alternate interpretation of “To Be Determined.” One of the ten paramis is adhitthana\, or determination\, in the sense of resoluteness or resolve. It may be helpful as the stay-at-home orders continue to cultivate an attitude of determination lightened by patience and kindness. We will look at how these qualities of mind might be applied to the way things are right now.

SUMMARY:(Remote) *Sit & Dharma Talk - Dennis Warren
DESCRIPTION:The Foundational Role of “Sensory Awareness” and “Intuition” In Practice & Daily Life\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren \nJoin online meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81917699261\nPasscode: 009649\nJoin by phone: 1-669-900-9128 ( Meeting ID: 819 1769 9261 )\nFor tips and instructions on how to use the access methods listed above\, 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: This evening will be devoted to exploring the meaning and indispensable roles of “Sensory Awareness” and “Intuition” in formal meditation practice and enriching our daily life.\nFor many\, the practice of Mindfulness as described in beautiful detail in the teachings of the Historical Buddha seem rational\, logical and linear. While having a clear intellectual understanding and framework for practice is essential\, in actual application we open our experience to the vast and multi-dimensional world of direct experience through Sensory Awareness and Intuition. We go far beyond the limited potential of language\, concept and thought when we move in the direction of becoming fully human through the cultivation and integration of these experiences in our practice and life.\nThe importance of this examination is focused by our reaction to\, and relationship with\, the current international health crisis. It must be clear to all of us that logical and rational problem solving\, by itself\, will not be enough for each of us to get through this situation with a sense of wholeness\, healing and meaning.\nIf you have time\, it might be helpful to listen to Dennis’ last talk on March 26. The discussion on this Thursday will be an extension of the themes in his prior talk.\nWe’ll examine these issues and more on this Thursday evening.
