SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Daylong Retreat - Rich Howard - The Three Trainings of the Noble Eightfold Path: Theory and Practice
DESCRIPTION:Daylong Retreat with SIM Community Teacher Rich Howard\n\n\n\nFor biographical details of the teacher Rich Howard\, click here. \n\n\n\nAbout This Hybrid Retreat\n\n\n\n\nParticipants may attend this Hybrid event via Zoom or in-person at the Sacramento Dharma Center.\n\n\n\nPre-registration is required and we recommend you pay the registration fee in advance using the registration ATTEND buttons shown below. Since your registration choice indicates if you’ll be attending via Zoom or in-person\, registering early helps us determine how many people the meditation room should accommodate.\n\n\n\nAfter you’ve registered you may later offer a donation in gratitude of the teacher. To offer teacher dana\, visit https://sactoinsight.org/retreat-dana-online/.\n\n\n\n\nThe Three Trainings of the Noble Eightfold Path: Theory and PracticeCommunity Teacher Rich Howard will combine Thursday 2/22 and Saturday 2/24 into an extended exploration of the four noble truths. You may attend either session or both. \n\n\n\nWhile Thursday evening’s session introduced the first three truths\, Saturday’s daylong retreat will be a deeper dive into the fourth truth\, the path to the end of suffering. As a framework for this exploration\, we will use the three trainings of the path: the training in sila (ethical conduct\, harmonious living)\, the training in samadhi (concentration\, collectedness of mind)\, and the training in pañña (wisdom\, insight\, understanding). Through guided meditation\, short dharmettes\, and discussion\, we will see how these trainings free us from unskillful thoughts\, speech\, and actions\, from obsessive mind states\, and ultimately from dukkha (unsatisfactoriness/vulnerability/suffering) itself. The day will also feature readings from American monk and translator Bhikkhu Bodhi’s latest book\, “Noble Truths\, Noble Path” (Wisdom Publications\, 2023).

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Rich Howard - Three Truths and One Path
DESCRIPTION:Meditation & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Rich Howard\n\n\n\nFor biographical details of the teacher Rich Howard\, click here. \n\n\n\n* The teacher will in-person at the Dharma Center.\nHybrid events can be attended via Zoom or onsite at the Sacramento Dharma Center.\n\n\n\nThree Truths and One PathCommunity Teacher Rich Howard will combine Thursday 2/22 and Saturday 2/24 into an extended exploration of the four noble truths. You may attend either session or both. Rich will be in person for both. \n\n\n\nIn his latest book\, “Noble Truths\, Noble Path” (Wisdom Publications\, 2023)\, American monk and translator Bhikkhu Bodhi describes the four noble truths as “the matrix of the teachings” and “not merely as one Buddhist doctrine among others\, but more broadly as the implicit framework of the whole teaching.” The Thursday talk and discussion will address the first three Truths: 1) Dukkha (unsatisfactoriness/vulnerability/suffering)\, 2) the Cause of Dukkha (tanha\, or craving/leaning in/turning away)\, and 3) the Cessation of Dukkha (nirodha\, extinction\, liberation). We will look at each Truth in detail\, discuss how they are “ennobling\,” and see how understanding them can be found in formal practice and daily life. This evening will lead us into the February 24 daylong retreat\, where we will explore the fourth truth\, the noble eightfold path\, in both theory and practice. \n\n\n\nOffer a Teacher Donation\n\n\n[give_form id=”10304″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] \n\n\n\nHow to Attend Remotely\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: 820 8055 1704 and Passcode: 254668 )For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Dennis Warren - I Could Be Wrong\, But I Don’t Think So (Fixed View)
DESCRIPTION:Meditation & 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* The teacher will in-person at the Dharma Center.\nHybrid events can be attended via Zoom or onsite at the Sacramento Dharma Center.\n\n\n\nI Could Be Wrong\, But I Don’t Think So (Fixed View)The Historical Buddha was clear about his message concerning the importance of thought: What we think about\, so we incline the mind. We make the world with our thoughts.Thoughts are so powerful because they shape our beliefs\, assumptions\, and expectations. They act as lenses thru which we perceive and understand the world. When these become fixed – and they usually do – we have the same experience over-and-over even though the circumstances and persons keep changing.This phenomenon – fixed thoughts and views shaping our lives and resulting in suffering – is at the center of Buddhist psychology and practice. This Thursday evening will explore this field of experiences through common situations in meditation and everyday living.The subject matter of this evening will be appropriate for all stages of practice. You can attend in person or by ZOOM. Dennis will be presenting in person and encourages you to be there in person as well. \n\n\n\nOffer a Teacher Donation\n\n\n[give_form id=”10310″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] \n\n\n\nHow to Attend Remotely\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: 820 8055 1704 and Passcode: 254668 )For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Walt Opie - Cultivating Sympathetic Joy (& Gratitude) Despite Ourselves
DESCRIPTION:Meditation & Dharma Talk with SIM Legacy Project Teacher Walt Opie\n\n\n\nFor biographical details of the teacher Walt Opie\, 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\nCultivating Sympathetic Joy (& Gratitude) Despite Ourselves \n\n\n\nThe main person who gets in the way of allowing us to feel sympathetic joy (mudita in Pali) and gratitude is you know who. Often we compare ourselves to others and find we don’t measure up in some way. Envy and jealousy are the opposites of sympathetic joy. The Buddha encouraged us to challenge our assumptions and to cultivate this capacity to find joy in the good fortune of others. Ajahn Pasanno says\, “Cutting through self-view is the Buddha’s unique contribution to spiritual practice. Mudita is antithetical to the self-view that we carry around with us and leads us to a place of boundless and immeasurable joy.” \n\n\n\nOffer a Teacher Donation\n\n\n[give_form id=”14984″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] \n\n\n\n\n\nHow to Attend Remotely\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin online meeting: https://zoom.us/join or join by phone at 1-669-900-6833( Meeting ID: 820 8055 1704 and Passcode: 254668 )For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Rich Howard - Pleasant\, Unpleasant\, Neutral\, Numb: Exploring the Second Foundation of Mindfulness
DESCRIPTION:Meditation & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Rich Howard\n\n\n\nFor biographical details about the teacher Rich Howard click here. \n\n\n\n* The teacher will present in-person at the Dharma Center.\nHybrid events can be attended via Zoom or onsite at the Sacramento Dharma Center\n\n\n\nPleasant\, Unpleasant\, Neutral\, Numb: Exploring the Second Foundation of MindfulnessWe rightly place strong emphasis on mindfulness of the body and mindfulness of mind states in our practice of meditation and everyday awareness. These are the first and third ways of establishing mindfulness as described in the Satipatthana Sutta\, one of the core teachings of our Insight tradition. Sometimes overlooked is the Second Foundation of Mindfulness: mindfulness of feeling tone (vedana in Pali). A feeling tone of pleasant\, unpleasant\, or neutral accompanies every experience\, physical or mental. Unnoticed\, these feeling tones can escalate to desire\, aversion\, or delusion and cause us to suffer. When noticed\, they can lead us to expand our range of situations where we can feel okay\, regardless of outside circumstances. On this evening\, we will explore vedana in our guided meditation and in the dharma talk and following discussion. Rich encourages you to practice noticing vedana in the week leading up to this evening\, so you can report directly from your experience in the discussion session. If you are unfamiliar with the practice and need instruction\, email Rich at rich@sactoinsight.org. \n\n\n\nOffer a Teacher Donation\n\n\n\n[give_form id=”10304″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] \n\n\n\nHow to Attend Remotely\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin online meeting: https://zoom.us/join or join by phone at 1-669-900-6833( Meeting ID: 820 8055 1704 and Passcode: 254668 )For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.
