Update on the SIM Covid Policy
The Sacramento Insight Meditation Board of Directors has approved a change in our Covid policy consistent with the current Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the California Department of Public Health guidelines. These guidelines are based on the current Sacramento County level of COVID-19 infections which is MODERATE.
Masks are no longer required but optional for those who choose to wear them. However, if the community level of COVID infection becomes HIGH masks are strongly recommended. As a reminder, an effective mask, like an N95, KN95, and KF94 offers the best fit and filtration.
Masks will continue to be available at the entrance to the Dharma Hall for this purpose.
For attendance at SIM in-person events at the Sacramento Dharma Center, all attendees are encouraged to be fully vaccinated with the most recent recommended vaccines.
Seating arrangements will continue to allow for social distancing.
If you are experiencing new symptoms of fever, chills, or cough, or if you or someone in your household is at increased risk for serious complications from Covid, please choose to participate in SIM events remotely.

02/02/2023 “Would you recognize an enlightened person?” with Diane Wilde
Audio DharmaWould you recognize an enlightened person? This is a question that was asked frequently by people in the Buddha’s time as well as in today’s world. You might have been inspired by a teacher or a Dharma acquaintance, and wondered if that person might be “awake”. But how would you know? What are the criteria? Are the criteria the Buddha spoke about relevant today? What about those who claim to have transcendent knowledge?
Conversely, If we are not inspired by a particular Dharma acquaintance or a teacher, does that mean we ignore what they have to say because we don’t see them on the road to enlightenment?
In tonight’s talk we’ll investigate what the Buddha had to say regarding “encountering an awakened being”, beginning with a conversation he had with King Pasenadi. King Pasenadi was also puzzled on who was on the road to enlightenment and who wasn’t and how could he tell?
