SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Diane Wilde
DESCRIPTION:Some of the earliest teachings in the Pali Canon may surprise you! \nSIM Community Mentor Diane Wilde has undertaken three “study/meditation” retreats with Venerable Analayo\, one of the premier scholars of the early Pali Canon.  Bhikkhu Analayo researches the earliest teachings and determines their authenticity by comparing them to the Chinese āgamas (brought to China 300 years after the Buddha’s death)\, as well as portions which have survived in Tibetan translation and in Sanskrit. The āgamas’ existence and similarity to the Sutta Pitaka are sometimes used by scholars to assess to what degree these teachings are an historically authentic representation of the Canon of Early Buddhism. Sometimes the differences between them are used to suggest an alternative to the accepted meaning of a sutta in either of the two recensions.  Bhikkhu Analayo is the first Westerner to translate many of these texts from the ancient Chinese. \nAt the Analayo retreat — held in April 2017 at Insight Retreat Center for teachers and senior practitioners —a wealth of information was offered. Topics included (but were definitely not limited to!) the early teachings on forgiveness\, conceptual thinking\, sickness and death (research derived from his new book\, “Mindfully Facing Disease and Death”) and many other relevant topics for today’s practitioner. Community Mentor Diane Wilde will share what she learned at the retreat and the practical application of these teachings in everyday life.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Rich Howard
DESCRIPTION:Engaged and Aware: Finding a Balance\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Rich Howard. \nFor many of us\, commitment to justice and ethics leads us to engage in action in the real world. But our practice of meditative awareness calls us to “be” not just “do.” Are these impulses opposed to each other? Or are they mutually supportive? How can we sustain our engagement and connect our mindfulness to the suffering all around (and within!) us? Let’s explore the implications of bringing our practice into every day life. This evening will serve as a good preparation for SIM’s Earth Day Daylong Retreat on Saturday April 22.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Diane Wilde
DESCRIPTION:“What About God?”  Part 2     –     Sit & Dharma Talk with Diane Wilde \n“What About God” Part 1 addressed the Buddha’s perspective concerning god\, which of course was strongly influenced by his own cultural imperatives.  Tonight we’ll begin the evening with a brief overview of how various contemporary teachers address this topic both personally and in their sanghas.  The remainder of the evening will be a community discussion on the topic.  Some of us incorporate “god” into our practice due to cultural mores or personal spiritual values. Others experience a sense of relief practicing a path which is non-theistic.  Please come and share your own perspective!  Should be an interesting discussion.

SUMMARY:Family Sangha (off-site)
DESCRIPTION:Family Sangha welcomes those who want to develop dharma practice in a family setting—parents\, grandparents\, uncles\, aunts\, and more. We offer indoor and outdoor activities for children\, expressing values of the Buddha way: compassion\, curiosity\, generosity\, kindness\, and mindfulness. Adults have time for meditation\, play\, and discussion. Please bring snacks\, clothes suitable for outdoor play\, and remain on the premises for the entire session if you bring children. Please let us know if you are interested in a tween and teen group. \nFamily Sangha is sponsored by the Sacramento Dharma Center; any dana you can offer for expenses is gratefully appreciated. \nDue to a scheduling conflict at the Sacramento Dharma Center building\, this meeting will be held offsite\, rain or shine. \nThe venue is Effie Yeaw Nature Center located inside the Ancil Hoffman County Park. Internet mapping software often gives inaccurate directions through San Lorenzo Way but this entrance is permanently locked and the only way to access the Effie Yeaw Nature Center by car is from Tarshes Drive and California Avenue. Click here for complete directions or visit www.sacnaturecenter.net. \nPlease meet at the kiosk at the entrance to the Nature Center right next to the sidewalk.  It’s the only way to enter once you’ve parked and there is a $5 per car parking fee. This fee pays for a full-day of accessing trails\, the museum\, and visitor center. \nThe meeting will last approximately one hour. We are planning various mindful- and nature-based activities for children as well as the adults in and around the Nature Center. Activities may include walking on trails near the Nature Center within Ancil Hoffman County Park.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren
DESCRIPTION:Forgetting  and Remembering\nThe original definition of Mindfulness contains the element of “remembering.” What does this mean? And why is it important? What are we “forgetting?”  What are we trying to “remember?” Does it mean remembering to engage in “moment-to-moment non-judgmental awareness”?  As difficult as it is to maintain such a state of mind\, is that it? Is that all? Or is there more? Or is there much more?\nUnderstanding these questions\, and their answers\, in the context of the historical Buddha’s teachings\, is important to practicing well and developing a progressively maturing practice. Reflect on these questions and come prepared with your questions to supplement the talk and discussion. \nSitting and Dharma Talk\, with Dennis Warren\, SIM Founding Teacher
