SUMMARY:Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Diane Wilde
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, December 10\, 7-9 pm. Sitting and Dharma Discus with Diane Wilde\, SIM Community Mentor\nAnger… it’s not what you think! \nIt’s the holiday season!  Anger?  Not allowed now!  Yet anger creeps into our lives uninvited\, disguised in a variety of forms.  There are a wide range of behaviors that signal anger\, yet we don’t usually consider ourselves “angry” because traditionally anger is defined as an explosion of violent behavior\, verbally or physically.  Yet this is only the extreme form on a continuum of emotional manifestations which the Buddha defined as “ill-will.”  One of the most difficult aspects of anger or ill-will is when it is self-directed\, and may be experienced as disappointment\, guilt\, jealously as well as a variety of other emotions.  This time of year often brings these feelings to a head when we are convinced that everyone has it all together\, and we don’t.  The Buddha defined ill-will as one of three states of mind that keeps us in samsara\, or a state of unease. He also teaches that this painful emotion can be seen for what it really is\, and with patience\, can be experienced with insight and ultimately released.

SUMMARY:Sit & Dharma Talk with Founding Teacher\, Dennis Warren
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, December 3\, 7:00-9:15 pm. Sitting and Dharma Talk\, with Dennis Warren\, SIM Founding Teacher.\nLOSS – SEEING IT COMING\, LIVING IT\, REORGANIZING AFTERWARDS  – WITH SIM’S FOUNDING TEACHER DENNIS WARREN   \nLoss brings us up against the limitations in understanding how the Dharma and practice apply to this painful aspect of being human. Loss not only helps\, but forces us\, to recognize where our understanding is conceptual or intellectual\, rather than one that informs real life challenges. \nHow we respond to the losses in our individual lives\, and losses in the lives of others\, influences everything –  how we experience the loss; how those around us experience the loss; how we reorganize our emotional\, psychological and dharmic lives after the outward manifestations of the loss have taken place. Loss\, and the way we work with it\, change who we are. \nThis evening with SIM’s Founding Teacher\, Dennis Warren\, will examine this phenomenon that is one of the most common roots of difficult emotions and crisis. We’ll explore how loss fits into the framework of Buddhist psychology\,  the nature of loss and ways to work with it. \nPlease join us at 7:00 pm. The evening will take place at the Sacramento Friends Meetinghouse\, 890 57th Street.

SUMMARY:Everyday Practice With The Aspiration Of Awakening with Dennis Warren
DESCRIPTION:One of the most elusive\, yet fundamental\, elements of Buddhist psychology and practice is the idea that we can be transformed in some genuinely permanent way through our practice\, and that we can be “liberated” from what burdens our minds and hearts. Buddhist practice promises the possibility of a lasting peace and satisfaction that is not dependent on external circumstances. \nThis one day retreat will focus on the meaning of Awakening or Enlightenment in realistic terms for those practicing at a community\, non-monastic\, level. We’ll explore the question “What may be possible in this lifetime through practice?” We’ll examine specific daily life\, relationship and meditation practices designed to move our practices toward Awakening. The day will involve sitting and walking meditation; practice instruction; a dharma talk; and plenty of time for questions\, answers and discussion. The day will be led by SIM’s Founding Teacher Dennis Warren. \nThis one day retreat will begin at 8:30 and end at 4:00 pm. Please bring a lunch and plan on staying on site during the lunch hour and during the whole day. The event will take place at the Sacramento Friends Meeting house\, 890 57th Street.
