SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Dennis Warren - Equanimity and Equanimous Happiness
DESCRIPTION:Insight Meditation and Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren\n\n\n\nFor biographical details of the teacher Dennis Warren\, 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\nEquanimity and Equanimous HappinessEquanimity\, and the unique form of happiness that accompanies it\, is considered one of the most important qualities of mind and heart in Buddhist practice. It is frequently misunderstood. And how to be Equanimous can sometimes seem confusing or beyond our skill or capacity. Understanding how to cultivate a realistic\, practical form of Equanimity seems like something that could help all of us given the conditions in our country and the world. \n\n\n\nJoin us this evening to examine these questions:What are the characteristics and qualities of Equanimity? And Equanimous Happiness?Why is this quality of mind and heart considered so valuable in meditation\, daily life and relationships?In what ways does Equanimity differ from\, and is related to\, the other three “higher emotions” of Loving Kindness\, Compassion and Sympathetic Joy?How do we develop Equanimity as a readily available resource for dealing with the challenges of life? \n\n\n\nYou might want to review the essay on SIM’s website entitled “The Practice of Equanimity – The Balanced Embrace of All Experience.” This basic essay will serve as a jumping off point for our exploration on Thursday evening. \n\n\n\nWhether you’re just beginning your practice\, or have been on the path for years\, you’ll find something helpful in this investigation. We welcome you to join us either in person or via ZOOM. Dennis will be presenting in person. He encourages you to be there in person to meet with old as well as new friends\, and enjoy an evening of community and exploring the Buddha’s teachings. \n\n\n\nOffer a Teacher Donation\n\n\n\nDennis Warren will receive at least 75% of your donation. \n\n\n\nUse the following donate button and select Thu May 14 – Dennis 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: 894 1555 3957 and Passcode: 538462)For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.

The first kilesa is greed (lobha) and the third is delusion.(moha). \n\n\n\nThere are a wide range of behaviors that signal anger\, yet we don’t usually consider ourselves as being “angry.” Traditionally anger is defined as an explosion of violent behavior\, either verbally or physically.  Explosive anger is the extreme form of ill-will on the continuum of emotional manifestations of dosa. \n\n\n\nOne of the many difficulties of dealing with anger is that it is inculcated throughout our society.  Movies\, podcasts\, social media\, TV shows and politics all have expressions of anger.  \n\n\n\nAnother aspect of anger is when it is self-directed\, and may be experienced as disappointment\, guilt\, jealously as well as a variety of other emotions.  Continually experiencing anger in its variety of forms creates sadness\, withdrawal and confusion. \n\n\n\nTonight we will discuss anger\, its traditional antidotes and some advice from contemporary teachers. \n\n\n\nOffer a Teacher Donation\n\n\n\nThe teacher will receive at least 75% of your donation. \n\n\n\nUse the following donate button and select Thu Jun 4 – 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: 894 1555 3957 and Passcode: 538462)For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.
