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.

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.

Life – personal\, relationship\, financial\, political choices – seems to be limited to two dimensional competing alternatives\, an either/or proposition. \n\n\n\nUnless we pause and step back from the drama of the moment\, we lose touch with the nuance\, beauty\, and multi-dimensional nature of life\, and life choices. We fail to see and experience the underlying reality that the world operates on a wide continuum of related and inter-dependent events\, experiences\, and choices. \n\n\n\nWe lose access to the most important\, skillful\, and healing life option – collaborating with life as it is\, and collaborating with others as they are. \n\n\n\nThis Thursday evening will explore this field of experiences through common situations in meditation and everyday living. \n\n\n\nThe 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\n\nOffer a Donation \n\n\n\n[give_form id=”10310″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] \n\n\n\n\n\n\n( Meeting ID: 820 8055 1704 and Passcode: 254668 )For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.

Other times\, we only realize it later. One of those experiences can be encountering a book that causes us to question how we are living or helps us have a new vision of practice or life.This evening will explore ten books that mattered in this way for SIM’s Founding Teacher\, Dennis Warren. Each book will be discussed from the viewpoint of how it was encountered\, its impact\, and the change or shift in direction that followed.  Dennis will discuss why each book was helpful for him…and maybe for you.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\n\nOffer a Donation \n\n\n\n[give_form id=”10310″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] \n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin online meeting: https://zoom.us/join or join by phone at 1-669-900-6833( Meeting ID: 862 2575 6048 and Passcode: 302015 )For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.
