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

Change of Plans March 22
NewsWe’re sorry to say Dennis Warren has a cold/allergies, and is not able to be at SIM this Thursday, March 22, as originally scheduled. The break-time celebration for Dennis will be postponed to a future date.
In his place, Rich Howard will provide beginning meditation instruction at 6:00 pm and the sit and dharma talk will be a continuation of last week’s exploration of Reconciliation.
