To offer teacher dana\, visit https://sactoinsight.org/retreat-dana-online/.\n\n\n\n\nRetreat Theme\n\n\n\nDeath As Our TeacherJust as life is happening all around us\, so is death. Human beings appear to be the only species that are conscious of our mortality. Yet most people purposefully ignore this fact of our existence\, preferring to put effort\, thoughts and practice on “more pleasant things”. We yearn to “wake up”\, to let go of our endless attachments and experience contentment and ease in our lives. Paradoxically\, facing the death of our loved ones and ourselves\, is one of the classic Buddhist teachings for accepting the truth of existence and waking up to impermanence. It is also a teaching that can greatly reduce and perhaps even eliminate the biggest delusion of all… that everyone else will die\, except me. By avoiding the reality of our own deaths\, we deny ourselves the life-affirming lessons that acceptance of death provides… that life CAN BE lived joyfully and with gratitude.Bring a lunch and plan on staying the entire day. \n\n\n\n\nThis daylong may not be suitable for those with anxiety\, trauma or those who have recently experienced the death of a loved one. \n\n\n\n\nSummary of Important Dates\n\n\n\n\n09/12/2024 – Registration opens.\n\n\n\n10/26/2024 – Attend and enjoy the wonderful retreat.\n\n\n\n10/26/2024 – For registration after the retreat\, send a message to the registrar to arrange payment.\n\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nSelect one of the following registration “ATTEND” buttons to indicate if you’ll be attending via Zoom or in-person. The fee is $25.00 per person due before the start of the event.

The biographies of those who practiced directly with the Historical Buddha are filled with stories of Awakening and Enlightenment…while meditating\, listening to a dharma talk\, during the course of daily monastic life.It’s reasonable to ask if this profound notion of liberation – where the mind is purified of all obstacles\, limitations and suffering – is relevant and realistic today for the community practitioner?This evening will explore the meaning and different models of Awakening or Enlightenment. It will examine a working model that may help us reframe our understanding and experience of this important potential in our lives\, and provide for a more satisfying practice and life.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\nOffer a Teacher Donation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[give_form id=”10310″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] \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: 898 3348 9002 and Passcode: 806268)For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.

Repetitive thought sets in re-enforcing and strengthening our concern. We become anxious and this affects our behavior. We feel uncomfortable when we see the person\, or maybe avoid them.And then…we talk with the person and find out they were never upset or mad in the first place. This is a wonderful illustration of the Historical Buddha’s teaching that we make not just the world\, but our suffering and happiness\, with our thoughts.This one-day workshop will explore the pivotal and major role that memory\, remembering and related repetitive thinking play in our identity and suffering. We will investigate and learn how to work skillfully with these qualities of mind from the perspectives of Buddhist psychology and modern memory research. It will involve meditations\, reflections\, dharma talks\, and small and large group discussions.The day is appropriate for all levels of practice experience. Please bring a pen/pencil and paper\, and your own lunch. Plan on staying on-site at the Sacramento Dharma Center all day during the retreat. \n\n\n\nAbout This Onsite Retreat\n\n\n\n\nThe teacher will present in-person at the Sacramento Dharma Center.

Sometimes\, they are presented as a vast inter-connected net that provides us with safety and stability. For many\, however\, the elements of practice sometimes feel more like a confusing puzzle or a basket of seemingly contradictory principles and recommendations.How do the elements of practice fit together in a cohesive system of meditation and life practices that are relevant\, useful\, helpful?This evening will explore some of the fundamental principles that help us to shift from uncertainty and confusion about practice\, to an understanding of how the elements fit together and support each other. It will examine a model of doing this where core principles help us move from a sense of separation to one of connectedness and inter-relationship.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\nOffer a Teacher Donation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[give_form id=”10310″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] \n\n\n\nHow to Attend Remotely\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin online meeting: https://zoom.us/join or by phone at 1-669-900-6833( Meeting ID: 850 9796 2731 and Passcode: 136792 )For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.

Wisdom is the skill of discerning what is needed in any given moment or phase of practice and how to adjust (or not!). On this daylong retreat\, we will explore different practices of sitting and walking meditation on different points of the spectrum from acceptance to cultivation. There will be plenty of time for practice questions and discussion.Bring a lunch and plan to stay all day. \n\n\n\nAbout This Onsite Retreat\n\n\n\n\nThe teacher will present in-person at the Sacramento Dharma Center.

One aspect of insight meditation practice that we are gently cultivating is what we call concentration\, or samadhi in Pali. Buddhist scholar Bhikkhu Analayo says the term samadhi “carries nuances of a bringing together.” He writes that other translations for samadhi include “collectedness” and “composure of the mind.” In this talk\, we will explore various aspects of developing greater concentration and how it can help transform our practice and our life.  \n\n\n\nOffer a Teacher Donation\n\n\n[give_form id=”14984″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] \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: 850 9796 2731 and Passcode: 136792 )For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.

Living into this way of mindful awareness has been likened to walking on a path. Where are you on the path? Is meditation an occasional hobby or a daily necessity? Does your practice include generosity and ethical behavior or do those qualities raise your hackles as “too religious?” What about cultivating other qualities like patience\, renunciation\, truthfulness\, kindness and equanimity (collectively known as the “paramis”). Wherever you are on the path\, you are welcome at SIM. And\, we encourage you to reflect on your practice(s) and living in harmony with your highest values. We will do just that on this evening by meditating together and discussing where we are along the path. Be prepared to ask and answer questions! \n\n\n\nOffer a Teacher Donation\n\n\n[give_form id=”10304″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] \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: 850 979 URL:https://sactoinsight.org/event/weekly-meeting-2024aug22/ LOCATION:Hybrid (in-person and online)\, 3111 Wissemann Drive (or *ZOOM)\, Sacramento\, CA\, 95826\, United States CATEGORIES:Online Remote,Weekly Meditation ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://sactoinsight.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/RichHoward-pic2022sm.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
