SUMMARY:Introduction to Meditation with SIM Community Mentor\, Rich Howard
DESCRIPTION:This 45-minute course is suitable for beginners or anyone who would like a refresher. It is offered on the fourth Thursday of every month before the regular sitting and dharma talk. There is no fee. \nRICH HOWARD has been an active practitioner and volunteer at SIM since 2004. His area of interest is bringing meditative awareness into everyday life. He participated in SIM’s 2007 India Pilgrimage and is a graduate of SIM’s second Practice Development and Leadership (PDL) program. The pilgrimage and the PDL program led to an interest in establishing the SIM Kalyana Mitta (Pali for spiritual friends) groups. He coordinated SIM’s network of Kalyana Mitta groups until he joined the SIM Board in 2010. He was one of the SIM representatives to the Inter-Sangha Coordinating Committee\, predecessor to the Sacramento Dharma Center Board\, which now runs our shared space for Buddhist sanghas in Sacramento. He served as a Peace Corps volunteer in southern Africa in the 1970s and is fluent in Spanish. He is a past president of the SIM Board. His teachers are Dennis Warren and Steve Armstrong. \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. \nAt the bottom of this page\, you may enter the number of people planning to attend and select the button “Confirm RSVP“.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Tony Bernhard - Going Forth
DESCRIPTION:Going Forth\nSit & Dharma Talk with Visiting Teacher Tony Bernhard \nHow might householders understand the idea of going forth into a life of the dharma today? How might it be different from “going forth into homelessness” as it was understood in the Buddha’s time? In what ways might it be easier — and in what ways more challenging — for us than for the monastics of earlier times? \nTony Bernhard is a graduate of Spirit Rock’s first Community Dharma Leadership training program\, and the Sati Center’s Chaplaincy program. He is also a Sati Center board member. Along with being the founder/ teacher at Davis Middle Path\, he offers his unique perspective on the Dharma throughout Northern California. \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:*Daylong Retreat with SIM Community Mentor Diane Wilde
DESCRIPTION:“Blowin’ in the Wind”: The Eight Worldly Winds are “the way of the world”. Only equanimity brings balance.\n Daylong Retreat with SIM Community Mentor Rev. Diane Wilde \n \nEquanimity is a protection from the “eight worldly winds”: praise and blame\, success and failure\, pleasure and pain\, fame and disrepute. Becoming attached to or excessively elated with success\, praise\, fame or pleasure can be a set-up for suffering when the winds of life change direction\, which is inevitable. \nThe practice of equanimity is one of the most sublime emotions of Buddhist practice. It is the ground for wisdom and freedom and the protector of compassion and love. While some may think of equanimity as dry neutrality or cool aloofness\, mature equanimity produces a radiance and warmth of being. \nYet when we are actually entangled in one of the eight worldly winds\, equanimity often seems a practice that is beyond our ability. At this daylong retreat\, we will discuss the teachings on — and practices that develop equanimity — as well as learning from each other as we share our own experiences\, both skillful and unskillful\, with the eight worldly winds. \nThe day will include gentle mindful movement\, periods of sitting and walking\, a Dharma discussion and sharing. \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.
