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

Registration Now Open (Cultivating The Seven Factors of Awakening)
Course Portal, NewsRegistration is now open for this five week online course facilitated by SIM Teacher Walt Opie.

These factors include: mindfulness, investigation, energy, joy, tranquility, concentration, and equipoise. It’s said that these factors, or treasures, have healing potential and lead to awakening or Nibbana.
