07/09/2020 “Ordinary” with Rich Howard

To download this talk, right-click and select ‘save audio as’ or select the 3-dot menu to the right of the speaker icon.

Insight is central to our practice of mindful awareness at SIM, as it is central to our name. We may frame it as a dramatic experience, “a flash of lightning in a summer cloud” as it says in the Diamond Sutra. We may hold an expectation that it is only available in settings far from our daily lives, on pilgrimage to a holy land or in extended retreat at a meditation center. What if it is available in the most ordinary of circumstances? What if we are setting the conditions for insight in the most mundane activities and familiar places of our lives? What if we let our expectations drop away and came into just this moment? In this evening’s talk and discussion, we will explore the terrain of the ordinary.

Registration Open – Annual Retreat

Hello SIM Community Member:

Registration is now open for SIM’s annual retreat (online) with Senior Teacher John Travis. The retreat is intended to help us deepen and integrate practice into our daily lives, while strengthening our Sangha.  This year’s theme is “Keeping our Footing on Unsteady Ground”. For information and to register for the retreat, click here.
 
Retreat details:

  • Teacher: John Travis
  • Duration: 5 days, starting at 6 pm on Friday, September 11, 2020 and concluding by 11 am on Wednesday, September 16, 2020. (See draft schedule on registration page)
  • Commitment: Attend 3-4 Zoom sessions each day for the whole retreat (Including Zoom group sitting periods, instructions, Dharma talks, and one small group check-in).  
  • Individual practice between sessions: May be tailored to your situation (e.g. amount of silence, sitting/walking practice, movement practice, other awareness practices, interaction with family/housemates, work).
  • Registration cost: $100, with opportunity to give teacher dana. (SIM has kept the registration cost low to support practice during this unsettled time; we encourage participants to be generous in giving dana to the Teacher).  Partial or full scholarships may be available upon request.

Warmly,
