SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Daylong Retreat - Diane Wilde - What is Samma Samadhi/Skillful Concentration?
DESCRIPTION:What is Samma Samadhi/Skillful Concentration?\n\n\n\nDaylong Retreat facilitated by Rev. Diane Wilde\, SIM Community Teacher\n\n\n\nFor biographical details of the teacher Diane Wilde\, 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\nRetreat Theme: What is Samma Samadhi/Skillful Concentration?\n\n\n\nRight or Skillful Concentration (samma samadhi) is the last of the Noble Eightfold Path. It can be a very confusing topic. Samadhi is often defined as attaining a state of mind called jhana which means “absorption.” This definition of jhana refers to a mind completely absorbed in concentration. Other interpretations of samadhi ignore jhana completely\, and focus on “insight” or vipassana as all that is needed to “wake up.” Others counter that the development of jhana is crucial for the development of insight. Who is correct? \n\n\n\nIn this daylong\, we’ll discuss the range of teachings in the Pali tradition on the relationship between samadhi\, jhana and insight. We’ll look at controversies that have developed about the interpretations of samadhi and how ultimately\, these various definitions can actually be quite useful as we individually learn what practice works for each of us. \n\n\n\nThe day will be in silence.  Please bring a lunch. \n\n\n\nSummary of Important Dates\n\n\n\n\n09/11/2023 – Registration opens.\n\n\n\n10/28/2023 – Attend and enjoy the wonderful retreat.\n\n\n\n10/30/2023 – Online registration closes the Monday after the retreat at 11:00 am PST.\n\n\n\n\nRegistration Options\n\n\n\n\n\nSelect one of the following registration “ATTEND” buttons to indicate if you’ll be attending via Zoom or in-person.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Diane Wilde - Be Your Own Teacher
DESCRIPTION:Be Your Own Teacher\n\n\n\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Diane Wilde\n\n\n\nFor biographical details about the teacher Diane Wilde\, click here. \n\n\n\n* The teacher will present in-person at the Dharma Center.\nHybrid events can be attended via Zoom or in-person at the Sacramento Dharma Center.\n\n\n\nBe Your Own Teacher“Be a lamp unto yourselves and strive forward with diligence” is one of the translations of the last words the Buddha uttered to his grieving disciples as he achieved paranibbana\, or complete liberation. He left no heirs — no recommended teachers\, but rather advised those gathered around him to depend on the Dhamma itself.  He left us with a detailed path which alleviates much suffering and unhappiness in our lives.The challenge is\, how do we each individually stay on the path?  Have we incorporated these essential teachings into our daily life?  If we have\, how do we do it?  If not\, why? Tonight we’ll discuss a few “prompts” that may be useful as a guide while navigating the path the Buddha outlined\, in both daily life and on the cushion.  \n\n\n\n\nOffer a Donation \n\n\n\n[give_form id=”9758″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] \n\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: 862 2575 6048 and Passcode: 302015 )For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Dennis Warren - Noting and Naming
DESCRIPTION:Noting and Naming\n\n\n\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren\n\n\n\nFor biographical details about the teacher Dennis Warren\, click here. \n\n\n\n* The teacher will present in-person at the Dharma Center.\nHybrid events can be attended via Zoom or in-person at the Sacramento Dharma Center.\n\n\n\nNoting & Naming“Noting” or “Naming” is the practice of making a soft mental note to highlight the present experience that is unfolding in meditation or in daily life. It has a number of different purposes and uses. Among others\, it can interrupt the distorting grip of reactivity\, reframe present moment experiences\, and create a new context for working with events\, particularly difficult or challenging ones. \n\n\n\nNoting/Naming is frequently misunderstood or undervalued even though it has the potential to be one of the most helpful\, practical\, and powerful tools of practice available to us.  \n\n\n\nThis evening we look at the different purposes and applications of the Noting/Naming process through practical illustrations of common situations in meditation and everyday situation. We will also place the practice into the larger framework of Buddhist psychology\, teachings\, and methods. \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\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.

All participants will attend in-person as the retreat will not be available via Zoom.\n\n\n\n* Pre-registration is required and we recommend you pay the registration fee in advance using the registration ATTEND button shown below. Since your registration choice indicates that you’ll be attending in-person\, registering early helps us determine how many people the meditation room should accommodate.\n\n\n\n* After 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\nRetreat Theme: A Day of Continuous Awareness Practice\n\n\n\nSpend a day in community returning to this foundational aspect of practice; cultivating a gentle and continuous awareness throughout all postures and activities. This simple practice is the basis for wholesome qualities of mind to emerge over time. This daylong will emphasize finding a balanced effort throughout the day that feels sustainable and supportive. The daylong will consist of guided meditations\, question and response periods\, and reflections offered by the teacher.  \n\n\n\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:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Dennis Warren - Revisiting Fundamentals: Energy & Effort
DESCRIPTION:Revisiting Fundamentals: Energy & Effort\n\n\n\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren\n\n\n\nFor biographical details about the teacher Dennis Warren\, click here. \n\n\n\n* The teacher will present in-person at the Dharma Center.\nHybrid events can be attended via Zoom or in-person at the Sacramento Dharma Center.\n\n\n\nRevisiting Fundamentals: Energy & EffortEnergy and Effort are essential\, and interdependent\, elements of good meditation and daily living practice. They can be valuable tools for keeping the mind alert\, focused and curious if we understand the difference between the two\, and develop the ability to monitor and regulate both. And they can become confusing and disrupting aspects of practice if we don’t.This evening we look at a framework for skillfully working with Energy and Effort using common situations in meditation\, daily living\, and relationships – becoming drowsy during meditation\, losing focus of attention\, being unable to sustain relaxed awareness\, getting lost in thought or narratives.The evening will also explore a practice approach using Energy as the primary focus of attention and exploration. Experientially understanding thought\, emotions\, and actions as fundamental expressions of different types of energy can be a door way to immediate\, direct experience and insight.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\n\n\n\n\nJoin online meeting: https://zoom.us/join or join by phone at 1-669-900-6833( Meeting ID: 874 0623 9886 and Passcode: 843332 )For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.

The foundational teaching of Dependent Origination is the best-known example. But causes and conditions can also lead to liberation. The lesser-known Discourse on Proximate Causes (Upanisa Sutta\, Samyutta Nikaya 12.23) lays out a chain of causes that leads from suffering to the knowledge of liberation.Understanding the steps in this chain of liberation can inform our practice and lead to happiness and peace. We will examine these steps and see how we might apply them to our practice. \n\n\n\n\nOffer a Donation \n\n\n\n[give_form id=”10304″ 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: 874 0623 9886 and Passcode: 843332 )For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.

Today’s theme will be the early Buddhist teachings on the aggregates and how they converge with the insights of modern neuroscience.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Rick Maddock - How intentions shape our experience: Converging views from neuroscience and early Buddhism
DESCRIPTION:How intentions shape our experience – Converging views from neuroscience and early Buddhism\n\n\n\nSit & Dharma Talk with Visiting Teacher Rick Maddock\n\n\n\n* The teacher will present remotely via Zoom.\nHybrid events can be attended via Zoom or in-person at the Sacramento Dharma Center.\n\n\n\nHow intentions shape our experience – Converging views from neuroscience and early Buddhism. \n\n\n\nSaṅkhāra is a word with many levels of meaning in early Buddhism. This talk will focus on its meaning as one of the five aggregates (skandhas)\, where it is often translated with such terms as volitions and intentions. People often strongly identify with their volitions and intentions. The Buddha taught about the dangers of clinging to and identifying with sankharas. The Foam Sutta describes sankhara with the analogy of a carpenter in need of heartwood who goes to a forest and cuts down a plantain tree. But when he cuts into the tree trunk\, he finds it is only layers of sheaths. There is no heartwood there. The perspective of modern neuroscience leads to a similar understanding of volition and intentions. \n\n\n\nOffer a Donation\n\n\n[give_form id=”40088″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] \n\n\n\n\nRICK MADDOCK\, MD\, is a professor of psychiatry who teaches and conducts neuroscience research at the UC Davis School of Medicine.
