SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Rich Howard
DESCRIPTION:You Don’t Have to Be Buddhist\nRich just returned from Thailand\, where Theravada Buddhism is interwoven with Hinduism and native folk religion. Once again\, the question arises: Am I a Buddhist? Another question follows: Do I have to be Buddhist to practice at SIM? Spoiler Alert: No and No. Join Rich and the SIM community to explore how investigating these questions may shed light on why and how we practice. \nThe eNews listed this talk as Jan 26th but it's scheduled for Feb 2nd.\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 with SIM Community Mentor\, Diane Wilde
DESCRIPTION:When Is Anger Skillful?\nIs anger an empowering and appropriate response to suffering and injustice\, or does it only cause more conflict? Is it skillful or unskillful? Does it help or hurt? With so many bad things happening in the world these days\, there’s a lot of debate about the proper role of anger. The answer may lie in the fundamental distinction Buddhism makes between anger and aggression. We’ll discuss how to channel anger appropriately as taught in the Pali Cannon\, as well as reflections from other teachers and sangha members. \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 with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren
DESCRIPTION:Transforming Ourselves\, Transforming Our Country\nThe aim of the historical Buddha’s teachings is nothing less than a transformation of how we understand ourselves and our experience; how we relate to each other; and how we engage the world around us. He provided us with a substantial system of practices supported by a dynamic psychology to move toward these goals. These practices and psychology are equally applicable to transformation in the inner sense\, as well as the outer sense. What we do and say in the world is a reflection of our inner landscape. \nThis evening will explore the intersection between inner and outer transformation\, and how the practices and psychology handed down to us by the Historical Buddha are essential in dealing with the turbulence\, chaos and change taking place in our country. That change is broad and deep – socially\, culturally\, racially and politically. In this context\, we’ll look at the role and obligations of those in spiritual communities\, both individually and collectively\, in making decisions about government initiated or sanctioned harming and violence. \nCome prepared with your questions on these topics to supplement the talk and discussion with SIM’s Founding Teacher Dennis Warren. \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.
