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. 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 Rev.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Teacher Dennis Warren - Restless\, Worry and Anxiety
DESCRIPTION:Investigation Leading to Liberating Insight – A Practical Model For Working With Restless\, Worry and Anxiety\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren\nHow can Restless\, Worry & Anxiety be investigated in a way that leads to liberating insight? This is one of the fundamental skills of a good practice. This evening will be devoted to examining a practical\, experiential and hands-on model of working with these obstacles and challenges to mindfulness and practice.\nWhile these states of mind can appear in different areas in our practice and our life\, they usually acts as an undermining factor in our confidence\, decision making and behavior. What are the related experiences of Restless\, Worry and Anxiety? What are their experiential origin? What causes them to be present? What causes them to diminish and no longer be present? What can we do to work with them skillfully while they present?\nAs preparation for this evening\, reflect on how Restless\, Worry and Anxiety has influenced your experience and decision making in the last year. Come prepared with questions you have regarding your experiences. \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.
