SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Dennis Warren (via Zoom) - Is Movement Meditation?
DESCRIPTION:Is Movement “Meditation”? An Exploration\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren \n* Hybrid events can be attended via Zoom or in-person at the Sacramento Dharma Center. For this event\, the teacher will attend remote\, via Zoom.\nJoin online meeting: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/81132858630\nPasscode: 073492\nJoin by phone: 1-669-900-6833 ( Meeting ID: 811 3285 8630 )\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:\nYou hear people say “running is my meditation.” Or maybe yoga\, biking\, Tai Chi\, Qi Gong\, kayaking\, archery\, dancing\, golf\, swimming or gardening. Or how about aerobic exercise and weight lifting?\nAre people who talk this way talking about the same thing? Or different things? Can we be in movement\, even vigorous movement\, and simultaneously be in “meditation”?\nDuring this evening we’ll explore whether movement\, in its many different forms\, is “meditation.” If the answer is “Yes\,” what allows movement\, or a particular activity\, to become meditation? If the answer is “No\,” why not? And a pivotal question: can movement be meditation when done by one person\, but not when done by another person? What if the person is a world class Olympic athlete?\nThis will be a practical dive into a rich and wonderful field of exploration. There is a wealth of commonalities\, and valuable practice and life lessons\, that emerge from an investigation of the relationship between movement and meditation.

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 75% of your donation will be shared with Rev. Diane Wilde. \nTopic details:\nMahaprajapati was the Buddha’s mother (actually his aunt who nurtured and raised him). Oddly\, little was written about her or her influence over her son\, and the establishment of the female sangha — both lay and monastic. Ancient stories about her made their way to China\, Sri Lanka and Thailand but were excluded from the Pali Canon except for one volume\, the Therigatha – “versus of the elder nuns.” Her life experience\, her approach to teaching and her relationship with the women of her sangha was generally ignored by the monks of her time\, and even now. New research and access to ancient “herstory” are now slowly becoming available. What this new information offers is a picture of a compassionate woman\, a gifted leader — who was beloved by her entire community. Mahaprajapati and her community of women had to approach the Dharma with a different sensibility due to the misogyny of that time. Their approach\, which we will discuss\, may be what is needed in today’s world as Buddhism continues to evolve.

SUMMARY:(Remote) Daylong Retreat - Diane Wilde - Finding the Right Question
DESCRIPTION:An online\, One Day Retreat with SIM Community Teacher\, Rev. Diane Wilde\n“Finding the Right Question”\nOur search for liberation\, awakening\, liberation\, release from suffering… whatever you wish to call it\, means asking ourselves questions that get to the heart of our unease. Not an easy task when our identities\, reactivity\, judgement and life experiences obscure insight. Finding the right question and being willing to spend time with it in daily life and on the cushion is crucial for getting closer to the goal of our practice… awakening. Not an easy task due to denial and fear of what we might find out about ourselves and our views of others. \nWe will reflect on a variety of questions during this daylong. We will use guided meditation and investigation of our lives through queries and personal written reflections. The simple act of writing has the power to help us encode information and insights. \nBring a small notebook or a few sheets of paper and a pen or pencil. \nAll are welcome.
