SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Diane Wilde - Right Effort
DESCRIPTION:Insight Meditation and Dharma Talk with SIM Teacher Diane Wilde\n\n\n\nFor biographical details of the teacher Diane Wilde\, click here. \n\n\n\n\n* The teacher will present in-person at the Dharma Center.Hybrid events can be attended via Zoom or onsite at the Sacramento Dharma Center. \n\n\n\n\nRight EffortTonight we continue our series on the Noble Eightfold Path with Right Effort\, the first of the “Samadhi” factors\, the teachings that deal with mental cultivation. \n\n\n\nRight Effort addresses our inner life: preventing unwholesome states from arising\, letting go of those that have already appeared\, and cultivating and sustaining wholesome qualities of mind. Traditionally\, it is not about striving or self-pressure\, but about wise discernment—knowing what nourishes clarity\, kindness\, and freedom\, and what leads to suffering. Learning what sort of effort to expend in our sitting meditation is crucial for developing insight. In daily life\, Right Effort shows up as choosing where we place our attention\, how we respond to habits and emotions\, and when we gently redirect ourselves rather than push or judge. It is the practice of effort that is balanced\, humane\, and aligned with our deepest values. \n\n\n\nOffer a Teacher Donation\n\n\n\nDiane Wilde will receive at least 75% of your donation. \n\n\n\nUse the following donate button and select Talk – Jan 29 Diane from the dropdown list. \n\n\n\n\nDONATE – Thu Talk\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to Attend Remotely\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: 862 9909 1295 and Passcode: 115163)For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Walt Opie - Right Concentration
DESCRIPTION:Insight Meditation and Dharma Talk with SIM Teacher Walt Opie\n\n\n\nFor biographical details of the teacher Walt Opie\, click here. \n\n\n\n\n* The teacher will present in-person at the Dharma Center.Hybrid events can be attended via Zoom or onsite at the Sacramento Dharma Center. \n\n\n\n\nRight ConcentrationAs part of our ongoing series\, this talk will examine the final factor of the Noble Eightfold Path\, which is Right Concentration. Practicing Right Effort and Right Mindfulness\, in combination with a strong foundation in ethical behavior (Right Speech\, Right Action\, Right Livelihood) leads eventually to a more focused or unified mind that is easily able to stay with one object like the breath or to maintain continuous awareness as the objects of our attention change (thoughts\, sights\, sounds\, tastes\, etc). With this steady\, still\, undistracted mind\, we are then ready to cultivate insight which leads to wisdom (Right View\, Right Intention) and potentially to full awakening. \n\n\n\nOffer a Teacher Donation\n\n\n\nWalt Opie will receive at least 75% of your donation. \n\n\n\nUse the following donate button and select Talk – Feb 5 Walt from the dropdown list. \n\n\n\n\nDONATE – Thu Talk\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to Attend Remotely\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: 862 9909 1295 and Passcode: 115163)For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.

You are warmly invited to join\, in person or via Zoom.
