SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Rich Howard - Wisdom
DESCRIPTION:Wisdom\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Rich Howard \nNOTICE: Guest teacher Noliwe Alexander let us know she is ill and will not be able to join us as originally scheduled this Thursday. We will re-schedule her for the Fall or Winter\, and SIM Community Teacher Rich Howard is the substitute for her this week. \nThe talk tonight concludes Rich’s series on the three root defilements (greed\, hatred\, and delusion) and their antidotes. Wisdom is the way out of Delusion\, which we discussed on June 6. While we may picture wisdom as only available far away\, it is right here inthis moment\, waiting to be discovered. We will explore the different kinds of wisdom in the Buddhist tradition and the ways by which wisdom grows and benefits our practice and all beings. \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. \nThursday Night Talk Dana\n“Generosity is the virtue that leads to peace.” – The Historical Buddha\nWe recognize that donating by cash or check at the time you attend this event may not always be convenient for you. If that’s the case\, please use the form below to donate by credit card or your PayPal account. Enter the amount you’d like to give and your donation will be shared with Rich Howard and SIM. \n[give_form id=”10304″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”]

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Matt Russell - Psychedelics and Buddhism
DESCRIPTION:Psychedelics and Buddhism: Hindrance or Skillful Means?\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Member Matt Russell \nYou may have heard\, there is a “new science of psychedelics” and major studies are showing that these substances\, when properly used\, can help relieve human suffering\, including depression\, anxiety\, PTSD\, and addiction. Some proponents claim that psychedelics have the potential to revolutionize health care as well as our understanding of the mind. \nPsychedelics and Buddhism have a long\, if seldom discussed\, overlapping history in this country that continues into the present day. \nThis talk will offer an inquiry into the implications of the current state of “psychedelic science” on dharma practitioners\, exploring the possibilities as well as the potential dangers and perils. \nWe will inquire into topics such as: psychedelics and the 5th precept\, the impact of psychedelics on the formation of the Dharma in the West\, academic research into the effects of psilocybin on the brains of long term meditators\, the current landscape of contemporary dharma teachers and practitioners who integrate psychedelic use into their dharma practice\, how we might think about psychedelics in the context of addiction and recovery. \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:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Rich Howard - Can We Be Aware of Delusion?
DESCRIPTION:Can We Be Aware of Delusion?\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Rich Howard \nThis evening will be the latest in Rich’s exploration of the three roots of suffering – greed\, hatred\, and delusion – and how to work with them. Since delusion is always present along with any of the unskillful mind states\, it is especially important to recognize it and get to know its unique flavor. But how do we know when we’re deluded? Wouldn’t delusion prevent us from knowing we are deluded? Let’s look at these questions together in a spirit of inquiry. \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. \nThursday Night Talk Dana\n“Generosity is the virtue that leads to peace.” – The Historical Buddha\nWe recognize that donating by cash or check at the time you attend this event may not always be convenient for you.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Sue Taylor - The Paramitas as a Path...
DESCRIPTION:The Paramitas as a path to awakening in daily life\nSit & Dharma Talk with Visiting Teacher Sue Taylor \nThe paramitas offer us a practice path that helps us identify what Thanissaro Bhikku refers to as the “priorities” of awakening. This reflective investigation is often referred to as a Bodhisattva path. Its focus is on ten elements: generosity\, virtue/morality\, renunciation\, discernment/wisdom\, energy\, patience\, persistence\, truthfulness\, determination\, and good will. Using the paramitas as teachings for both a beginning journey and the culmination of an end of life reflection\, they allow those new to Buddhist practice\, as well as those who have aged with the teachings\, a common framework for the exploration of a fully embraced life. \n\nTalk Handout: A list of Readings\, Audio courses\, video courses (.pdf)\n\n \n  \nSue Taylor\, PhD\, MSW\, is a member of the Sacramento Dharma Center Board\, an ordained Theravada Minister\, and an Environmental Chaplain. She is a professor at CSU Sacramento in the Department of Social Work. \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. \nThursday Night Talk Dana\n“Generosity is the virtue that leads to peace.” – The Historical Buddha\nWe recognize that donating by cash or check at the time you attend this event may not always be convenient for you.

Analayo\, the seven awakening factors provide the conditions conducive to awakening. These factors require a sequential building up as well as a balancing in our meditation practice. And when we do this\, as Ven. Analayo says\, “Just as a river inclines and flows towards the ocean\, so the awakening factors incline towards Nibbana.” \nWe will spend this day of practice exploring these seven important factors in depth and looking at how they build upon each other sequentially. The first factor is mindfulness (sati)\, so we will examine how one firmly establishes mindfulness\, which the Buddha stated is always useful\, in every situation. \nWalt recently completed a retreat with Ven. Analayo and will offer lessons learned both on retreat and in further study of the teachings on the seven factors. There will be sitting and walking meditation periods with guided instructions\, along with dharma talks and time for questions and discussion. \nAll are welcome. Come for all day or for a portion of the day. Please bring your lunch. \nWALT OPIE was first introduced to insight meditation in 1993 at Spirit Rock and began attending regular residential retreats in 2005. He is a graduate of both the Spirit Rock Community Dharma Leaders’ (CDL4) training program and the Sati Center Buddhist Chaplaincy program. He has led sitting groups for people in recovery since 2011. Walt also serves as a volunteer chaplain with Buddhist Pathways Prison Project (BP3) at Solano state prison in Vacaville\, CA. In addition\, he is currently a trainee in the Insight Meditation Society (IMS) Teacher Training program based in Barre\, MA. \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.
