Virtual Event

October 5, 2023 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm PDT

Community Discussion – Retreat Practice: Facilitated by SIM Community Teacher Rich Howard

For biographical details about the facilitator Rich Howard, click here.

* Rich Howard will facilitate via Zoom.
Hybrid events can be attended via Zoom or onsite at the Sacramento Dharma Center

Retreat: Deepening our Meditation Practice
Meditation practice has many components: daily sittings, attendance at a meditation community in person or online, study, daylong retreats, and longer residential retreats. Each supports the others, and together they deepen our practice and bring it more and more into everyday life. On this special evening, three SIM community members, Sho Kawano, Cedric Orange, and Amy Kovak, will discuss their experience with residential retreat. Community Teacher Rich Howard will moderate. We will touch on fitting retreats into a busy life, overcoming doubts about attending a first retreat, and how retreat practice has affected our meditation practice and life. Although the SIM Residential Retreat is full this year, you may be attending for the first time, or contemplating attending next year. All levels of experience are welcome to attend, ask questions, and share experiences. There will be plenty of time for questions, comments, and responses.

9/14/23 “Revisiting Fundamentals: Energy & Effort” with Dennis Warren

Audio Dharma

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

Energy and Effort are essential, and interdependent, elements of good meditation and daily living practice. They can be valuable tools for keeping the mind alert, focused and curious if we understand the difference between the two, and develop the ability to monitor and regulate both. And they can become confusing and disrupting aspects of practice if we don’t.
This evening we look at a framework for skillfully working with Energy and Effort using common situations in meditation, daily living, and relationships – becoming drowsy during meditation, losing focus of attention, being unable to sustain relaxed awareness, getting lost in thought or narratives.
The evening will also explore a practice approach using Energy as the primary focus of attention and exploration. Experientially understanding thought, emotions, and actions as fundamental expressions of different types of energy can be a door way to immediate, direct experience and insight.
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.

09/07/23 “Liberation is Possible: The Upanisa Sutta” with Rich Howard

Audio Dharma

We often say that all things are the result of causes and conditions, and most teachings discuss how this leads to suffering when we try to hold on in the face of change. The foundational teaching of Dependent Origination is the best-known example. But causes and conditions can also lead to liberation. The lesser-known Discourse on Proximate Causes (Upanisa Sutta, Samyutta Nikaya 12.23) lays out a chain of causes that leads from suffering to the knowledge of liberation.
Understanding the steps in this chain of liberation can inform our practice and lead to happiness and peace. We will examine these steps and see how we might apply them to our practice.

This talk was not recorded however Rich Howard wanted to share the following two handouts.
