SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Dennis Warren - Difficult\, Problematic\, Obsessive Thinking
DESCRIPTION:Difficult\, Problematic and Obsessive Thinking – Part II\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren \nThis will be the second talk\, in a series of two\, on working with difficult\, problematic and obsessive thinking. A four page handout accompanied Dennis’ first talk on this topic on March 7th. It would be helpful to review that handout. It would also be helpful to try the strategy for working with thought as well as the exercise on Thought and Listening\, contained in the handout\, in preparation for this evening.\nThe discussion this evening will look at the differences between working with thought during meditation and working with thought during daily lives. These are two different approaches.\nFor example\, the traditional instruction is to “not go into the content of thought” during meditation. Is that the whole instruction? Doesn’t the Insight Meditation process involve some form of evaluation of thought while one is meditating? How does this basic meditation instruction apply to thought in daily life?\nAmong other thing\, the evening will explore the five strategies the historical Buddha recommended for dealing with difficult\, problematic and/or obsessive thoughts that distract us for seeing into their implications or true nature of being either harmful or unhealthy nature.\n(Note: This talk will not cover the same materials present in the talk on the “Two Types of Thinking” presented earlier this month on April 18 by Community Teacher Diane Wilde.) \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 Dennis Warren and SIM. \n[give_form id=”10310″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”]

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Diane Wilde - Vesak and looking at Nibbana
DESCRIPTION:Vesak… and looking at “Nibbana”\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Diane Wilde\n  \nThe most important holiday in the Buddhist calendar is Vesak. This year for many Buddhists Vesak is celebrated on Sunday\, May 19. It celebrates the important events in the Buddha’s life… his birth\, enlightenment and reaching a final state of no suffering… paranibbana. \nEnlightenment or Nibbana has a host of definitions\, mostly consisting of what it isn’t. The Buddha never explicitly said what it is\, or for that matter\, even exactly “who” gets enlightened. Due to the inability to speak about “Nibbana\, the“goal” of eliminating suffering is either impossibly vague or has disappeared entirely from view. \nWhat Western Buddhists are left with is the “path” and perfecting the path now appears to be the goal rather than actual enlightenment. Why is that? Is Nibbana the same in 2019 as 2\,600 years ago when the world was so radically different? We’ll investigate the traditional attempts at explaining Nibbana and also some new ideas emanating from the challenges of our times. \n  \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:*Daylong Retreat - Walt Opie - Cultivating the Seven Factors of Awakening
DESCRIPTION:Cultivating the Seven Factors of Awakening\nA One Day Retreat with visiting Teacher Walt Opie\nAccording to Ven. 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.

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.
