12/05/2019 “Mindfulness of Mind” with Greg Scharf

If you would like to download this talk, please right click and select “save as” here.

This talk explores the nature of mind and will look at the Buddha’s instructions in the Third Establishment of Mindfulness in the Satipatthana Sutta.

The Satipatthana Sutta is one of the most revered teachings in the Pali Canon and forms the Buddha’s single most comprehensive set of instructions for Vipassana Meditation. In the 3rd section of this discourse, Mindfulness of Mind, the Buddha describes simple but extremely powerful & liberating ways to bring awareness to the mind in meditation. This talk explores our direct experience of the mind as process, as well as offering reflections for the practical application of the Buddha’s instructions in this core teaching.

Additionally, here is a link to a similar Mindfulness of Mind talk that Greg Scharf gave last year at Spirit Rock (during a month-long intensive meditation retreat).

New eleven-month course starts Feb 2020

We are pleased to offer a new eleven-month course called A Year to Live: a practical course on living and dying. The course is lead by SIM’s community teacher Reverend Diane Wilde and registration opens December 18th. The class size is limited so register as soon as possible; the course fee is $35 (no one turned away due to lack of funds).

The course meets at the Sacramento Dharma Center from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM the third Monday of the month from February through December 2020. There are also smaller group meetings in between the larger group discussion. In the past, the smaller meetings have met in participants’s homes but this is still to be determined.
