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.

This evening will be devoted to examining a practical\, experiential and hands-on model of working with doubt.\nWhile doubt can appear in many different places in our practice and our life\, it usually acts as an undermining factor in our confidence\, decision making and behavior.

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.
