SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Rich Howard - Loving Anger
DESCRIPTION:Loving Anger\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Rich Howard\nN O T E  – Due to technical difficulties\, we couldn’t include this talk in our Audio Dharma library however we do have this handout that Rich provided the attendees – Loving Anger Resources (.pdf) \nWe may have idealized views of the spiritual path. We may not want to look at the shadow side of our personality. Yet “seeing things as they are” is the very meaning of “vipassana” or insight. It is only by allowing our anger\, fear\, and other challenging emotions to come into view and be known that we can move through them to a place of peace. At the same time\, we must be wary of “spiritual bypassing\,” a premature “transcendence” of uncomfortable emotions. As Rumi says in his poem The Guest House\, “meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.” We will spend this evening learning to work with\, and maybe even love\, uncomfortable emotions\, using anger as a case study.\nThis emotion is so important to understand that Thich Nhat Hanh has an entire book on it (“Anger: Wisdom for Cooling the Flames”) and Bhikkhu Bodhi devotes Chapter III of “The Buddha’s Teachings on Social and Communal Harmony” to anger (pages 47-68). Bring an open heart! \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. With our practice of dana\, we support our Sangha. \nThursday Night Talk Dana\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 your donation will be shared with Rich Howard and SIM. \n[give_form id=”10304″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”]

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Diane Wilde - Entering the Stream
DESCRIPTION:Entering the Stream\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Diane Wilde \nBuddhist practice offers those who yearn for “awakening” a map of sorts. “Entering the Stream” or “Stream Enterer” is the first location on this map leading towards complete liberation. Tonight we will discuss the characteristics of a Stream Enterer and what needs to take place in order to realize the liberating qualities of being firmly on the path. \nAccording to the teachings\, entering the path of liberation means we should ultimately rely on our own direct experiential knowledge. The Buddha put himself practiced this way. Yet\, even the most gratifying experiences can be dangerous if we become attached to them. What “goes beyond all views” probably defines the experience of liberation when we are no longer clinging to experience of any kind—including book-learning\, rites or rituals\, or sophisticated techniques. Ironically\, due to its simplicity and elegance\, it can often appear difficult\, even though signposts on how to proceed are evident everywhere — if we pay attention. Stream Enterers\, according to the teachings\, are now firmly on the path to liberation. It is impossible to go back once this state is realized. \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. With our practice of dana\, we support our Sangha. \nThursday Night Talk Dana\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.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Meg Gawler - Cultivating Joy
DESCRIPTION:Cultivating Joy\nSit & Dharma Talk with Visiting teacher Meg Gawler \nBuddhists on the path to liberation practice meditation to train the mind in mindfulness and samādhi. The Pāli word\, samādhi\, although often translated as ‘concentration\,’ is better rendered into English as ‘unification.’ While concentration is an essential skill\, the Buddhist practitioner cannot produce a state of samādhi through concentration alone. This is because the self needs to get out of the way. Rather\, the Buddha teaches that samādhi arises naturally when the supporting conditions – all positive mind states – are in place. Joy is one of these positive mind states. \nMEG GAWLER began practicing Buddhism in 1968 as a disciple of the Zen Master\, Shunryu Suzuki Roshi\, including over three years of monastic training. She earned a Master’s in Applied Ecology\, moved to Europe\, pursued an international career in nature conservation and human development\, and began practicing in the Theravāda tradition. She has trained with Gil Fronsdal\, Jack Kornfield\, Joseph Goldstein\, and others. Authorized as a Dharma teacher by Jack Kornfield and then by Gil Fronsdal\, Meg teaches retreats in both English and French in Switzerland\, and serves as a guest teacher at the Insight Meditation Center and elsewhere. Meg also holds a Master’s in Buddhist Studies\, specializing in early Theravāda studies. In addition\, she teaches Radiant Heart Qigong in the tradition of Teja Bell. \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. With our practice of dana\, we support our Sangha.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Diane Wilde - How to Ask the Right Question
DESCRIPTION:Knowing How to Ask the Right Question\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Rev. Diane Wilde\nThe Buddha taught that how we frame our questions is equally\, and usually\, more important then the answer.  In other words\, the Buddha wasn’t content simply to provide answers to people’s questions. He also wanted to show them how unskillful questions can be recognized through testing\, and how skillful questions—conducive to the end of suffering—can be framed and tested in their place.  These skills are applicable to our meditation practice as well as in daily life.  For example\, we might begin to see when we or others are asking a question not for an answer\, but to enhance a particular self-identity. If we do not know how to frame our questions skillfully\, we can find ourselves mired in an untenable situation of our own making. As Voltaire noted\, “Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers.” \n  \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. With our practice of dana\, we support our Sangha. \nThursday Night Talk Dana \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.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Laura Rosenthal - Talking on the Toll-free Line
DESCRIPTION:Talking on the Toll-free Line\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Member Laura Rosenthal\nWise speech – refraining from false speech\, malicious or divisive speech\, harsh speech and idle speech – is one of the “folds” of the eightfold path toward awakening. For may of us\, talking on the phone with consumer service folks – an internet provider or bank\, a government agency\, or a host of others – can challenge our intention to speak kindly and wisely. What is this all about? And how can we use these frequent\, ordinary interactions to hone our awareness and our ethical practice? Join Laura Rosenthal for a talk and group conversation on the topic “Talking on the Toll-free Line“. \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 Discussion - Diane Wilde - Reflections after the elections
DESCRIPTION:Reflections after the mid-term elections and what’s next\nSit & Dharma Discussion with SIM Community Teacher\, Rev. Diane Wilde \n\n“There is a widespread attitude among Buddhists\, especially Western Buddhists\, that politics is an arena to be avoided as if it were a toxic pit. It’s seen as a detour from our spiritual quest\, a distraction and an entanglement\, a falling away from our aspirations for purity\, enlightenment\, awakening\, and liberation. But in the face of today’s multiple crises\, we can’t turn away.” \n– Bhikkhu Bodhi \n\nWith Bhikkhu Bodhi’s admonition in mind\, we will discuss the timeless teachings of the Buddha in regards to the outcome of the mid-term election… whatever those results might be. \nBring your concerns\, your hopes and intentions for what comes next. \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. With our practice of dana\, we support our Sangha.
