SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Tony Bernhard - Dependent Origination
DESCRIPTION:Sit & Dharma Talk with Visiting Teacher Tony Bernhard \nThe Buddha is said to have taught\, “One who sees dependent origination sees the Dhamma; one who sees the Dhamma sees dependent origination.” What is this teaching that’s so central to Buddhist understanding and what does it mean for our practice? Join longtime friend of SIM Tony Bernhard for an exploration of this question. \nTony Bernhard is a graduate of Spirit Rock’s first Community Dharma Leadership training program\, and the Sati Center’s Chaplaincy program. He is also a Sati Center board member. Along with being the founder/ teacher at Davis Middle Path\, he offers his unique perspective on the Dharma throughout Northern California. \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 - Commitment to Practice
DESCRIPTION:Commitment to Practice: Hobby\, Pastime\, or Lifetime Aspiration?\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor Rich Howard \nWe may come to the practice of meditative awareness as a curiosity or from an intense experience of suffering. We may practice continually from the first day or intermittently. As we progress\, the role of practice in our lives may increase\, shift or fall away completely. Just as we periodically look at why we practice\, it is helpful once in a while to examine our level of commitment. Both are supported by the power of intention. On this evening\, we will look at our level of commitment and the conditions that support or undermine our aspiration. \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 - Diane Wilde - Legend of Mass-Murderer Angulimala
DESCRIPTION:The Legend of Mass-Murderer Angulimala … and lessons about negative karma\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor Diane Wilde \nThe redemption of the mass murderer Angulimala\, is memorialized in the Pali Canon in Majjhima Nikaya 86. Angulimala’s brutality and his ultimate liberation has long been an inspiring story to Buddhist practitioners.  What is not known is the deeper meaning behind the legend and the various interpretations that have come down to us from both Buddhist and Hindu traditions.  While the acts committed by Angulimala caused unspeakable suffering for his victims and their families\, a question which is often ignored is how did he contend with the karma resulting from all he had done?  How was he able to “start over” with a legacy of murder and cruelty? In our own lives\, how do we contend with the harm we have caused\, both in regards to ourselves and others?  How do we “clear” our own karma?  How do we respond to others who have harmed us? We will look at this legend from a variety of vantage points and how the legend of Angulimala has many lessons to teach. \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.
