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.

Enter the amount you’d like to give and 75% of your donation will be shared with Rev. Diane Wilde. \nTopic details: Reading the title of this talk\, “The End of the World” might bring up visual images such as a catastrophic asteroid strike\, economic or religious conflicts that culminate into a devastating World War… or maybe a world wide pandemic. The Buddha in a few suttas addressed the ending of this world and what takes its place. The world as we knew it\, is indeed ending. Nothing will be as it was\, no matter how diligently some of us will try to make it “normal” again. It’s not just the exterior world we inhabit that is ending. As the Buddha taught\, our internal mental world is continually ending and being reborn moment by moment. Actually being aware that this is taking place is an incredible opportunity to have a hand in how the new internal world will manifest. The internal world that emerges ultimately creates the external world. How we do that\, and what we create is up to us.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Rich Howard - Awareness\, Effort\, Right View
DESCRIPTION:Awareness\, Effort\, and Right View\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Rich Howard\nGoogle “mindfulness” and you’ll find this definition (from Psychology Today): “Mindfulness is a state of active\, open attention to the present.” On the other hand\, Burmese monk and meditation teacher Sayadaw U Tejaniya titled one of his books “Awareness Alone is Not Enough.” What else is needed? Won’t it be complicated? With all the approaches to mindfulness floating around\, it may be a challenge to know how to practice a simple yet effective form of awareness that leads to insight and eventually freedom. With reminders from Sayadaw’s two most recent books\, “Collecting Gold Dust” and “Relax and Be Aware” as well as his classics\, we will look at the wider context of Awareness/Mindfulness/Attention: how it might differ from some of the popular notions\, how it fits in the Noble Eightfold Path\, and how it supports our search for freedom. This evening will be a good preparation for Rich’s Saturday\, February 29 daylong\, Awareness Practice and Inquiry. \nSacramento Insight Meditation events are sustained by the generosity of instructors in offering teachings freely and on the generosity of students and members of the meditative community in the form of financial support\, service and participation in events.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Diane Wilde - The Truth About Lying
DESCRIPTION:The Truth About Lying\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Diane Wilde\nDo you lie? Yes you do. Research shows we all lie on a daily basis… often many times a day! Yet\, truthfulness\, and the avoidance of falsehood is emphasized over and over again in the Buddha’s teachings. Truthfulness is the first factor of Right Speech with specific guidelines on how to evaluate when\, and how\, to speak truthfully. Speaking truthfully is also the fourth of the Five Training Precepts\, which are the basic virtues to be cultivated on our path to ease and happiness. Yet\, we lie so frequently and for such a variety of reasons\, that lying becomes an acceptable “necessity.” We maintain that we have plausible reasoning for our lies. Did the Buddha mean we must always be truthful? Let’s find out! \nSacramento Insight Meditation events are sustained by the generosity of instructors in offering teachings freely and on the generosity of students and members of the meditative community in the form of financial support\, service and participation in events.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Dennis Warren - Cross The River of Suffering
DESCRIPTION:What Does It Mean To Cross The River of Suffering\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren \nThe Historical Buddha used the image of our making our way across “the River of Suffering\,” then leaving the boat we arrived in at the water’s edge\, once we are safely on “the other shore.” What does it mean to “cross the river of suffering?” and to reach “the other shore?” Was the Buddha implying that it is our fate to continuously suffer until we have crossed the River?\nThis evening will examination the Buddha’s guidance for community level practitioners – non-monastics – about the pleasures of community life and practice in the context of the responsibilities and obligations of community life.\nThis guidance clearly points to the idea that the teachings are designed to support and create ease in our life\, not to foster a sense of struggle\, and an over-emphasis & self-indulgence\, on suffering that may be present. This guidance\, for those living full community lives\, is a necessary and important element in creating a balanced practice\, and a satisfying & happy life. \nSacramento Insight Meditation events are sustained by the generosity of instructors in offering teachings freely and on the generosity of students and members of the meditative community in the form of financial support\, service and participation in events.
