The Paramis Coming Together
One of the topics the Sangha recently explored was the 10 paramis, the 10 strengths of mind that when cultivating lead towards greater wellness and peace. Tonight’s talk will explore some of the ways the paramis work in tandem with one another as we continue along the path of practice. The evening will include time for a question and response period.

May 16                  Wisdom                  Dennis Warren

The Parami of Wisdom: Experiencing Self and Experiencing Emptiness of Self

The form of Wisdom described as “Insight” is the decisive center piece of the Theravadan-Vipassana tradition in Buddhism. In the West, we refer to Vipassana meditation as “Insight Meditation” because it produces Insight – a spontaneous, sudden change in how we understand ourselves and the world based on direct experience. During this evening we’ll explore the nature of the Insight experience and the difference in Insight which cognitive and that based on direct experience. We’ll also consider its different types – Insight that arises, and is interpreted, thru the self or ego, and Insight which is “liberating” because it allows us to experience the world without the management, control and interference of the self or ego.

This evening will be helpful for those attending Dennis’ one day retreat / workshop on Saturday, May 25 entitled “When Life Changes.” The subject matter of this evening will be appropriate for all stages of practice. You can attend in person or by ZOOM. Dennis will be presenting in person and encourages you to be there in person as well.

May 9                  Truthfulness                  Walt Opie

Truthfulness
According to Ajahn Sucitto in his book Parami: Ways to Cross Life’s Floods, the parami of truthfulness can be understood in two ways. The obvious way is that we do not tell lies or mislead others with our speech (including written communication). The other way, Ajahn Sucitto says, “refers to perception, to the ability to see or know things in an undistorted way.” This second way requires us to be totally honest with ourselves and to see with clarity, which involves bringing mindfulness to each moment.
