SUMMARY:(Remote) Sit & Dharma Talk - Rich Howard - Finding and Losing Your Self
DESCRIPTION:Who Am I? What Do I Want? What Do I Believe?: Finding and Losing Your Self\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Rich Howard \nJoin online meeting: https://zoom.us/j/97449478347\nPasscode: 444641\nJoin by phone: 1-669-900-6833 ( Meeting ID: 974 4947 8347 )\nFor tips and instructions on how to participate\, check this news blog. \nThursday Night Talk Dana\n[give_form id=”10304″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] “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 75% of your donation will be shared with Rich Howard. \nTopic details:\nThe Buddhist concept of “not self” can be very confusing if we let it linger as a subject of philosophical speculation or distant conceptual notion. On the other hand\, the Buddha taught the illusion of self (anatta in Pali) as one of the three universal characteristics of experience\, along with impermanence and unsatisfactoriness; living an embodied insight into how this process works is one avenue to awakening.\nTwo of the basic processes we have taught often at SIM offer ways of seeing into how we construct and maintain the sense of self: the five aggregates of clinging and dependent origination. In this presentation\, Rich will share some other approaches from classes he attended with Steve Armstrong and Kamala Masters at the Vipassana Metta Foundation and Jay Garfield at the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies. We will place particular emphasis on the ethical and liberating aspects of these teachings.

SUMMARY:(Remote) Sit & Dharma Talk - Dennis Warren - Experiencing Emptiness of Self
DESCRIPTION:Experiencing Emptiness of Self and Its’ Practical\, Every-Day Implications\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren \nJoin online meeting: https://zoom.us/j/92605207107\nPasscode: 529339\nJoin by phone: 1-669-900-6833 ( Meeting ID: 926 0520 7107 )\nFor tips and instructions on how to participate\, check this news blog. \nThursday Night Talk Dana\n[give_form id=”10310″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] “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 75% of your donation will be shared with Dennis Warren. \nTopic details:\nUnderstanding and experiencing the teaching on the Emptiness-of-Self (“No-Self” / “Anatta”) is considered is to be defining and transformative. But having the actual experience that makes this teaching immediate\, direct and relevant to every-day life and relationships seems to elude us.\nThe focus of this Thursday night’s discussions will explore the Emptiness-of-Self through 4 questions: \n\nWhy is it considered so important from a practical perspective?\nWhat is (and is not) the experience of Emptiness-of-Self?\nWhat impact does the experience of Emptiness-Of-Self have on our understanding of ourselves\, our relationships\, our behavior and our place in the world?\nWhat methods can help us understand and directly experience Emptiness-Of-Self in meditation and everyday life more often and more tangibly?\n\nCommunity teacher\, Rich Howard\, gave an excellent traditional overview of the teaching on “no-self” or “anatta” on Thursday\, February 4 under the topic of “Finding and Losing Yourself.” Dennis’ discussion this Thursday will be on the same teaching but from a different perspective and emphasis. Rich’s talk is posted to SIM’s Audio Dharma Library (click here).\nThe subject matter of this evening is appropriate for all stages of practice. All that is necessary is showing up with an open\, questioning mind.

Conceit in Buddhism can mean feeling superior\, inferior\, or the same as others. In other words\, it is our habitual comparison of ourselves to others. Conceit is also the delusion that our experiences ARE ourselves\, and that our self has boundaries and solid substance. According to the Pali canon\, conceit is among the last defilements to fall away before full awakening. It is subtle and difficult to observe within ourselves… much easier to see in others! When we begin to experience conceit as it really is\, we also begin understand and experience anatta: “No permanent self”.

SUMMARY:(Remote) Daylong Retreat - Diane Wilde - Working with “Mana”\, the Pali Word for Conceit
DESCRIPTION:An online\, One Day Retreat with SIM Community Teacher\, Rev. Diane Wilde\nWorking with “Mana”\, the Pali Word for Conceit\nConceit (“māna” in Pali) is one of the last defilements\, and the most subtle process to fall away as we begin“waking up”. It is much more than a feeling of superiority\, although that is certainly one aspect. Conceit in Buddhism can mean feeling superior\, inferior\, or the same as others. In this daylong retreat\, we will look more deeply at its subtlety through the use meditation\, “thought experiments” as well as informative daily experiences. We may begin to see how deeply integrated conceit is in all of our judgements of ourselves and others. The amount of suffering in our lives is in direct proportion to our inner conceit.\nAll are welcome.
