SIM meets online and in-person at the Sacramento Dharma Center
What is Dana?
Dana is a Buddhist word that means generosity or heart. Nearly all Sacramento Insight Meditation activities are offered on a dana (donations) basis. This means our programs 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. Practice dana, please support our Sangha. DONATE NOW

10/15/2020 “Where Are We Going?” with Dennis Warren
Audio DharmaIt’s good to step back from time to time and try to place our lives in context. This is one way for us to get a clear picture of where we are headed and whether our meditation and spiritual practices are helping us head in that direction.
This talk will focus on two familiar situations we regularly face in meditation, practice and daily life. This examination should be interesting and helpful no matter your level of knowledge or experience.
We’ll also take a hands-on look at two realities that our minds almost always want to treat as theory or philosophy, rather than real life, tangible, useful experiences: Annica (impermanence) and Anatta (no-self.) What are these two experiences as real-life events? What relevance do they have to our relationships and everyday activities? How can they help us live a richer, fuller, deeper, more vivid life? This is what we’ll explore.
