SUMMARY:(Remote) *Sit & Dharma Talk - Rich Howard
DESCRIPTION:Talk topic is “TBD” (really)\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Rich Howard\nJoin online meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89852631380\nPasscode: 730143\nJoin by phone: 1-669-900-6833 ( Meeting ID: 898 5263 1380 )\nFor tips and instructions on how to use the access methods listed above\, check this news blog. \nThursday Night Talk Dana\n[give_form id=”10304″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] \n“Generosity is the virtue that leads to peace.” – The Historical Buddha\nFor remote meetings\, please use the form above 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. \nTopic details: TBD is an acronym that stands for “To Be Determined.” So many aspects of our lives right now are “to be determined”: When will schools re-open? When will a vaccine for COVID-19 be developed? When will I be able to visit [insert your favorite person’s name here]? When will I be able to go to a retreat center? The answers to all these questions and so many more will flow from a complex set of causes and conditions over which we have no control. So\, how does that feel? How can we use the practice of meditative awareness to develop a sense of ease with changing and uncertain conditions? How can we apply both wisdom and compassion to work with this question? \nWe will also explore an alternate interpretation of “To Be Determined.” One of the ten paramis is adhitthana\, or determination\, in the sense of resoluteness or resolve. It may be helpful as the stay-at-home orders continue to cultivate an attitude of determination lightened by patience and kindness. We will look at how these qualities of mind might be applied to the way things are right now.

That’s quite a statement given the Buddha’s habit of understatement.\nIf the appearance of Grateful people on the planet is so rare\, why does it seem to be such an unrated and infrequently taught quality of mind? What is Gratefulness from a Buddhist perspective? Why is it so important?\nWe’ll explore these questions\, specific ways to experiment with bringing more Gratefulness into our lives\, and the role Gratefulness plays in encouraging and supporting Loving-Kindness\, Compassion\, Equanimity and Joy.
