SUMMARY:(IN-PERSON) Sit & Dharma Talk - Rich Howard - Mahā-Sīlava Jātaka (“Not One Drop of Blood”) (7PM - 9PM) + Uposatha Observance (9PM - 12AM)
DESCRIPTION:Insight Meditation and Dharma Talk with SIM Teacher Rich Howard\n\n\n\nFor biographical details of the teacher Rich Howard\, click here. \n\n\n\n\n* The teacher will present IN-PERSON at the Dharma Center.Hybrid events can be attended via Zoom or onsite at the Sacramento Dharma Center. \n\n\n\n\n* 7PM – 9PM: Mahā-Sīlava Jātaka (“Not One Drop of Blood”)The Jataka Tales are folksy stories of the past lives of the being who would become Siddhattha Gotama and eventually the historical Buddha. To become a Buddha\, this being had to perfect the ten qualities known as “Paramis” (or “Perfections”)\, and each tale tells how one or more of the Paramis was developed in a particular past life\, as an animal or human. The Mahā-Sīlava Jātaka is particularly rich in its inclusion of the Paramis\, so we will listen to the story and reflect on which qualities are illustrated and how the story informs our understanding of them. \n\n\n\n* 9PM – midnight:  Uposatha ObservanceThursday August 27\, 2026\, is a full moon day. At 9:00 pm after the regular sit and dharma talk\, Rich will offer an evening of Uposatha practice\, which has been observed in Buddhist countries since the time of the Buddha. This is a particularly auspicious day\, as there will be a partial (93%) lunar eclipse\, starting at 7:35 pm PDT\, reaching maximum at 9:12 pm\, and concluding at 12:01 am. We will walk outside to experience the peak of the eclipse\, then return inside for sitting and walking meditation\, chanting\, and perhaps another Jataka Tale. Rich will stay until midnight\, as long as folks are interested. \n\n\n\nOffer a Teacher Donation\n\n\n\nRich Howard will receive at least 75% of your donation. \n\n\n\nUse the following donate button and select Thu Aug 27 – Rich from the dropdown list. \n\n\n\n\nDONATE – Thu Talk\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to Attend Remotely\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin online meeting: https://zoom.us/join or join by phone at 1-669-900-6833( Meeting ID: 895 2162 7007 and Passcode: 933142)For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.

SUMMARY:(IN-PERSON) Daylong Retreat - Rich Howard - Begin Again
DESCRIPTION:Daylong Retreat with SIM Teacher Rich Howard\n\n\n\nFor biographical details of the teacher Rich Howard\, click here. \n\n\n\nBegin AgainWe follow the breath for a while and the mind drifts off: Begin again. We practice diligently for months and life events intervene\, taking us away from regular formal practice. Circumstances change: Begin again. We get caught up in the busy-ness of our day and lose awareness. Then we remember: Begin again. It has been said that beginning again IS the practice. Whether in formal meditation\, on retreat\, or in daily life\, the ability to start over without judging ourselves or getting discouraged is key to developing the continuous awareness that leads to insight and transformation. In this daylong retreat\, Rich will offer a modified version of SIM’s beginning class retreat\, with lightly guided sitting and walking periods. There will be a body scan and opportunities for questions and responses. Bring a lunch and plan to stay all day in noble silence. This day will be ideal for newer students and for more experienced meditators who are willing to bring an open mind and gentle self-compassion to their practice. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nAbout This Hybrid Retreat\n\n\n\n\nThe teacher will present in-person at the Dharma Center.

SUMMARY:(IN-PERSON) Sit & Dharma Talk - Dennis Warren - Intention: The Factor Animating Choice and Karma
DESCRIPTION:Insight Meditation and Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren\n\n\n\nFor biographical details of the teacher Dennis Warren\, click here. \n\n\n\n\n* The teacher will present IN-PERSON at the Dharma Center.Hybrid events can be attended via Zoom or onsite at the Sacramento Dharma Center. \n\n\n\n\nIntention: The Factor Animating Choice and KarmaChoice plays a pivotal role in the architecture of Buddhist practice. For example\, it surfaces in the five strategies for dealing with distracting thoughts\, the four types of Right Effort\, and the five ways of letting go or abandoning unskillful states of mind. Each set of options asks that we weight the circumstances and select a course of action. \n\n\n\nAnd yet\, curiously\, the Pali Canon — that vast record of the Historical Buddha’s psychology\, teachings and methods — contains no word or phrase equivalent to our conventional sense of “choice.” \n\n\n\nThis reflects the Historical Buddha’s tendency to redirect attention away from the surface of a question towards what he considered its root. If choice\, as commonly understood\, is not the true axis of decision-making\, then what is? And what might this reveal\, as a practical matter\, about the nature of skillful decision making and how it can be embodied in practice and life? \n\n\n\nThis is the question we’ll explore this Thursday evening. \n\n\n\nWe invite you to join us either in person or via ZOOM. Dennis will be presenting in person. He encourages you to be there in person\, as well\, to meet with old\, as well as new\, friends and enjoy an evening of community and investigation the Historical Buddha’s teachings. \n\n\n\nOffer a Teacher Donation \n\n\n\nDennis Warren will receive at least 75% of your donation. \n\n\n\nUse the following donate button and select Thu Sep 3 – Dennis from the dropdown list. \n\n\n\n\nDONATE – Thu Talk\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to Attend Remotely\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin online meeting: https://zoom.us/join or join by phone at 1-669-900-6833( Meeting ID: 895 2162 7007 and Passcode: 933142)For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.
