Insight Meditation and Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren
For biographical details of the teacher Dennis Warren, click here.
* The teacher will present in-person at the Dharma Center.
Hybrid events can be attended via Zoom or onsite at the Sacramento Dharma Center.
What Are We Supposed to “See Clearly”
One of the fundamental teachings we hear regularly is to “see things clearly as they are.” But Seeing Clearly is not an inherent quality of mind. It is a skill that matures through intentional development. Join us this evening to explore these questions:
* What does it mean to “see clearly”?
* What are we supposed to see clearly?
* Why is seeing clearly so important?
* What are the obstacles to seeing clearly? And what do we do about them?
* How do we develop this skill?
The presentation and discussion will include a practical examination, and handout, of the critical elements of the Historical Buddha’s Psychology of Causation which explains the nature of suffering. We’ll apply Seeing Clearly to the stressful dynamics of being with family during the holidays.
Whether you’re just beginning your practice, or have been on the path for years, you’ll find something helpful in this exploration. We welcome you to join us either in person or via ZOOM. Dennis will be presenting in person. He encourages you to be there in person too to meet with old as well as new friends, and enjoy an evening of community and exploring the Buddha’s teachings.
