SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Diane Wilde
DESCRIPTION:“I’m Right\, you’re wrong… end of discussion”\nPart 1 of Right View — the views we hold in everyday life\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Diane Wilde. During this historic and volatile period in our nations’s history\, it is helpful to return to the guidance provided by the basic principles of this practice — Right View or Wise View\, “samma ditthi.”  All of us across the political and social spectrums are tenaciously cleaning to our views which we summarily declare as “truth.” Too often fear\, anger\, resentment and even hatred are propelling us in one direction or another.  If we take the time to take inventory\, we might discover which closely-held views are wise and compassionate and which promote ignorance and cruelty.  Looking at these beliefs in our lives is practicing Skillful or Wise View in daily life. Clearly seeing how things are is a formidable task\, yet this is what is asked of us if we truly desire to decrease\, and hopefully eliminate\, suffering in our lives. \nWe will leave time to discuss the views in our own lives and how they enhance or promote suffering. \nPart 2 of Right View on March 30 will investigate the “enlightened” state of not clinging to a view.   What does that really mean?  Is this possible\, or even desirable\, in today’s world?

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren
DESCRIPTION:Revisiting the Meaning\, Benefits & Risks of Suffering\nWe talk so much about “suffering” in Buddhist practice\, we sometimes lost touch with the original meaning of suffering found in the historical Buddha’s teaching. Instead\, we turn we slide into a western psychological meaning. And we also lose touch with the tangible benefits and the clear risks or dangers of suffering.\nThis evening with SIM Founding Teacher\, Dennis Warren\, will explore the meaning\, benefits and risks of suffering from a Buddhist perspective. It will extend a number of the principles outlined in Dennis’s talk on February 16th. You may want to review that talk as a way of preparing for this evening.\nCome prepared with your questions on these topics to supplement the talk and discussion with SIM’s Founding Teacher Dennis Warren.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Rich Howard
DESCRIPTION:Uncertainty and Doubt\nWe may come to practice in search of clear answers\, but as practice matures\, we become more comfortable with uncertainty and ambiguity. Suzuki Roshi wrote\, “In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities\, but in the expert’s mind there are few. ” Maintaining this “beginner’s mind” keeps practice fresh and opens the mind to surprising insights. Too much uncertainty and ambiguity may lead to doubt. Let’s explore this rich territory together and see what it means for our formal and daily practice. Bring your experiences with uncertainty and doubt for sharing with the community.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren
DESCRIPTION:Transforming Ourselves\, Transforming Our Country\nThe aim of the historical Buddha’s teachings is nothing less than a transformation of how we understand ourselves and our experience; how we relate to each other; and how we engage the world around us. He provided us with a substantial system of practices supported by a dynamic psychology to move toward these goals. These practices and psychology are equally applicable to transformation in the inner sense\, as well as the outer sense. What we do and say in the world is a reflection of our inner landscape. \nThis evening will explore the intersection between inner and outer transformation\, and how the practices and psychology handed down to us by the Historical Buddha are essential in dealing with the turbulence\, chaos and change taking place in our country. That change is broad and deep – socially\, culturally\, racially and politically. In this context\, we’ll look at the role and obligations of those in spiritual communities\, both individually and collectively\, in making decisions about government initiated or sanctioned harming and violence. \nCome prepared with your questions on these topics to supplement the talk and discussion with SIM’s Founding Teacher Dennis Warren. \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:*Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Diane Wilde
DESCRIPTION:When Is Anger Skillful?\nIs anger an empowering and appropriate response to suffering and injustice\, or does it only cause more conflict? Is it skillful or unskillful? Does it help or hurt? With so many bad things happening in the world these days\, there’s a lot of debate about the proper role of anger. The answer may lie in the fundamental distinction Buddhism makes between anger and aggression. We’ll discuss how to channel anger appropriately as taught in the Pali Cannon\, as well as reflections from other teachers and sangha members. \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:*Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Rich Howard
DESCRIPTION:You Don’t Have to Be Buddhist\nRich just returned from Thailand\, where Theravada Buddhism is interwoven with Hinduism and native folk religion. Once again\, the question arises: Am I a Buddhist? Another question follows: Do I have to be Buddhist to practice at SIM? Spoiler Alert: No and No. Join Rich and the SIM community to explore how investigating these questions may shed light on why and how we practice. \nThe eNews listed this talk as Jan 26th but it's scheduled for Feb 2nd.\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.
