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.

He left no heirs — no recommended teachers\, but rather advised those gathered around him to depend on the Dhamma itself. \nBecause of this last teaching\, practitioners read\, study\, attend retreats\, come to regular weekly sittings and attempt to understand the Dharma in order to cultivate that inner\, wise compassionate teacher. We hope that our “inner-teacher” is the one who always takes the right action\, in thought word and deed. And yet\, for most of us\, we continually question ourselves\, our practice and our motives. Today we will have a conversation about becoming our own teacher\, and methods for assessing how we are doing and how to begin trusting ourselves and our practice… no matter where we are on the path. \nPlease bring your lunch. \nDIANE WILDE has studied meditation in various traditions since 1990. In 2001 she was a founding member of Sacramento Insight Meditation. She founded Buddhist Pathways Prison Project (BP3) in 2010. Since 2003\, she has been a BP3 prison chaplain and aids in coordination of 75 volunteers who offer Buddhist services at numerous California prisons and jails. She is a graduate of Sati Center’s Buddhist Chaplaincy program and graduated from Spirit Rock Meditation Center’s Community Dharma Leadership Training Program. She is a board member of Sati Center for Buddhist Studies\, Sacramento Dharma Center\, Buddhist Pathways Prison Project and California Dept. of Corrections Volunteer Advisory Board. In 2015 she was lay-ordained as a Buddhist minister by her teacher Gil Fronsdal. \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. \nSummary of Important Dates\n\n08/29/2018 – Registration opens.\n10/26/2018 – Registration via this website closed at 8:00 pm.
