INSIGHT DIALOGUE RETREAT led by DONNA STRICKLAND... Online Retreat via Zoom Sponsored by Show Me Dharma Date and Time: Saturday January 30 from 10:00 am-5:00 pm This daylong retreat will offer an overview of the transformational practice of Insight Dialogue. It is appropriate for all, whether you have past experience with Insight Dialogue or are a beginner. Insight Dialogue is an interpersonal meditation practice, and so you will be invited during this retreat to practice silently as well as in dialogue with one or more others. You will receive instruction in the meditative guidelines of Insight Dialogue and have the opportunity to use these guidelines to support reflection on core Buddhist teachings. This practice is deeply heart-opening and supports the awakening factor of investigation. About The Teacher: Donna Strickland will facilitate this retreat. Donna has practiced Insight Meditation since 2004 and Insight Dialogue since 2006. She has extensive retreat experience with Gregory Kramer, who developed Insight Dialogue, as well as with a number of Insight Meditation teachers. She has particularly benefited from the teaching and mentorship of Phil Jones, Gloria Taraniya Ambrosia, and Kate Dresher. She is an active member of an international group of Insight Dialogue facilitators committed to deepening their understanding of the dharma and to regularly offering ID to others. She is currently a guest teacher for Show Me Dharma. Registration will open soon. We encourage you to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to deepen your practice!

Sangha Holiday Celebration Sunday December 6 at 10:00 AM Ceremony Held Over Zoom Date and Time: Sangha Ceremony Sunday December 8, 10:00 am... Membership Meeting at about 11:00, immediately after the ceremony Cost: Offered on a dana (donation) basis Join us Sunday December 6 at 10:00 AM for our Celebration of Our Sangha, and a brief SMD membership meeting. In this ceremony, we celebrate the spiritual community that is Show Me Dharma. The word in Buddhism that expresses that community is sangha. That day we also celebrate Bodhi Day, which is the commemoration of the Buddha's enlightenment. Our ceremony is the celebration of the capacity we all have to awaken to truth, peace, and compassion, and the community within which that process happens. At the ceremony, members of the Show Me Dharma Teachers Collective will lead the group in chanting the Buddhist refuges and precepts. We will have a brief meditation, and engage in a cording ceremony. Any member of the Show Me Dharma community, and their family and friends are invited. Following the ceremony, we will have a brief membership meeting and all are welcome. The purpose of this meeting is to vote on new and renewing board of trustees members for Show Me Dharma. All are welcome. Note: The cording ceremony brings awareness to our basic interconnectedness. It consists of wrapping a length of red thread around one of our wrists. When we have been able to meet in person, the sangha provides balls of thread that are what is used for the cords. In this time when we are not able to meet in person, we ask that each person find a thread that is suitable for them for the ceremony.

TONIGHT!!! Relevance of Renunciation for Practice Today A special joint meditation group session bringing together practitioners from Insight Meditation South Bay and Show Me Dharma... with Shaila Catherine and Philip Jones Tuesday, November 17, 2020 8:00 9:30 PM Central Time 6:00 7:30 PM Pacific Time Note that we have changed our usual meeting time to accommodate the differences between Pacific and Central time zones for this evening’s event. The Dalai Lama was once asked by reporters, What does Buddhism teach that would promote happiness? After a quiet thoughtful pause he smiled and replied, Renunciation! Contemporary lay practitioners might wonder how renunciation leads to happiness, and how it could be relevant for their own spiritual path. Should renunciation be a part of lay practice, or is it a discipline suited particularly for the ordained? How would renunciation manifest in a contemporary lay lifestyle, and what forms would it take in our daily practice? What is the aim of renunciation for one who lives with the daily pressures, responsibilities, choices, and possessions of a lay person? Tonight’s session will take advantage of the online format by bringing two meditation groups and their teachers to together to explore this dhamma theme, and simultaneously broaden connections with dharma practitioners across the country. Program Sequence: Guided Meditation led by Shaila Catherine Brief Talk by Shaila Catherine Brief Talk by Phil Jones Mixed Breakout Groups with participants from each sangha Group Discussion, Questions and Answers This event is offered on a dana basis and is appropriate for newcomers as well as experienced practitioners. The evening includes silent or guided meditation and teachings. Please join us on Zoom!

The Port Townsend Sangha invites you to join Tuere Sala, September 11 13, for a Weekend Retreat on Zoom. There will be an introductory talk and discussion Friday Evening, September 11th at 7 PM. The retreat will be Saturday September 12 from 9 am to 4:30 pm, and Sunday September 13, from 9 am to 4:30 pm.... Here is the link to this special event: https://zoom.us/j/9340466510 A complete schedule of the weekend activities is found here. For more login details and phone numbers for audio connection only, click here. About the Retreat - Awakening Emotions It hardly seems that any of us are able to make it through a day without being emotionally triggered. It could be a tragic or anger-inducing news story, a disagreement with family or friends (or even a stranger!), a comment or article on social media, a stressful situation at workthe list is endless. Often emotions turn our lives into a roller coaster ride of reactivity which can have the effect of turning our meditative practice into an escape clause rather than the source of our inner strength. It is possible, however, to engage our meditative practice in a more proactive way by cultivating several awakening emotions. They are considered awakening emotions because when present, they bring clarity and wisdom. During our time together we will explore these awakening emotions, how to distinguish them from non-awakening emotions, how to cultivate them and how to recognize their impact upon our practice. This program is appropriate for both new and experienced meditators and will include meditation (with instructions), walking and reflective periods, and a Dhamma talk. Everyone is welcome. Dana. If you wish to offer dana to support Tuere's work, you may do so via her PayPal address at paypal.me/tueresala. You can also send questions or comments to Tuere c/o Seattle Insight Meditation Society, 4001 9th Avenue NE, Seattle, WA 98105 Tuere Sala is a retired prosecuting attorney who has practiced Vipassana meditation for over 25 years. She has been an active member and volunteer at Seattle Insight since 2001. In 2009, she was appointed to be a Local Dharma Leader. Tuere believes that meditation is the foundation for today’s practitioner’s path to liberation. She is inspired by bringing the Dharma to nontraditional places and is a strong advocate for practitioners living with high stress, past trauma and difficulties sitting still. Her teachings reflect an approach to Dharma that is both easy to follow and understand making it accessible to everyone. We hope you can attend this event.

Friends, Show Me Dharma Vigil for George Floyd The atrocity of the murder of George Floyd, and the causes that lead to this action by the Minneapolis Police, is one more example in a history of trauma inflicted on people of color in our country. As practitioners of Buddhism we hold as fundamental to our awakening non-harm, right action, right thought and right speech . We, as a Sangha, and as individuals are being called to investigate deeply where we still hold delusion, ...greed and ill will, and how that manifests in our body, speech and mind in regards to race. The practice of compassion is at the core of the Buddhist path. We are inviting our Sangha, and any others who wish to join us this Sunday, at Show Me Dharma, to take a step to put compassion into action, by joining us for a vigil for George Floyd. When: 10-11 am Sunday (to replace the regular Sunday practice) June 14th Where: Show Me Dharma,on the lawn, for those who are able to attend, or on Zoom for those unable to be there in person. We require all participants to wear a mask and practice 6 ft of social distancing. We will have hand sanitizer available, but feel free to bring your own. We apologize, but Show Me Dharma will be closed and rest rooms will not be available. The closest public restroom will be at Gerbes. Please bring your own lawn chair if you need one.
