SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Diane Wilde - Anger… it’s complicated!
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\nAnger… it’s complicated!Anger creeps into our lives uninvited\, disguised in a variety of forms. it is a multi-faceted emotion that is on the continuum of “ill-will\,”  (dosa in Pali) the second of the “Three Poisons” or kilesas that keep us in a state of samsara. 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.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Dennis Warren - “Right” Effort in Meditation\, Practice and Life
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\n“Right” Effort in Meditation\, Practice and LifeThe importance of focusing our attention and investigation on Effort in meditation\, practice and life is frequently overlooked or minimized. “Right Effort\,” or “Right Energy\,” is foundational to our understanding and development of all the core elements of Buddhist practice. It is essential to integrating practice into daily life and relationships. And the way we use Effort is a significant factor in whether the way we conduct our practice and lives is practical and pragmatic\, or informed as “spiritual” or “dharmic” in nature. Join us this evening to explore these questions: \n\n\n\nWhat is Right Effort? What makes it “Right?”Is Right Effort different from Right “Energy?”Why is Right Effort considered foundational?What are specific\, practical\, useable examples of how to work with Right Effort in meditation? Other aspects of practice? Daily life? Relationships?What makes Right Effort a significant factor in informing practice and life as spiritual or dharmic? \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 evening 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 Jun 25 – 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.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Tanya Wiser - How Mindfulness Matures
DESCRIPTION:Insight Meditation and Dharma Talk with Visiting Teacher Tanya Wiser\n\n\n\n\n* The teacher will present remotely via Zoom.Hybrid events can be attended via Zoom or onsite at the Sacramento Dharma Center. \n\n\n\n\nHow Mindfulness MaturesMindfulness is often described as paying attention to the present moment. Yet throughout the early Buddhist teachings\, the Buddha presents mindfulness and clear comprehension together. Over time\, we begin to recognize how these two qualities work in partnership: mindfulness helps us know what is happening\, while clear comprehension reveals what we might otherwise overlook.We’ll explore how this deepening understanding supports greater wisdom\, responsiveness\, and care in our daily lives. \n\n\n\nTANYA WISER\, LCSW\, SEP is a queer-identified mother\, therapist\, and meditation teacher devoted to mindfulness\, embodied wisdom\, and the path of liberation. She teaches at the Insight Meditation Center in Redwood City and offers retreats grounded in attentive presence\, receptive awareness\, compassionate embodiment\, and deep reciprocity with the natural world\, guided by the question: “Is the heart open or closed?” Her approach arises from lived experience of the Dharma and is informed by training in Mindfulness-Based Therapy\, Compassion-Focused Therapy\, and Somatic Experiencing. Tanya’s teaching supports people in meeting life with greater wisdom\, care\, and compassion.She was fully authorized to teach in 2025 by Gil Fronsdal and Andrea Fella after completing a four-year Vipassanā teacher training program through the Insight Retreat Center and the Insight Meditation Center. \n\n\n\nOffer a Teacher Donation\n\n\n\nTanya Wiser will receive at least 75% of your donation. \n\n\n\nUse the following donate button and select Thu Jul 16 – Tanya 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: 895 2162 7007 and Passcode: 933142)For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.
