SUMMARY:Introduction to Insight Dialogue led by Bhikkhu Sukhacitto
DESCRIPTION:Awakening Together: Insight Dialogue Practice\nTonight will be a special extended event—a 2 hour workshop on Insight Dialog led by Bhikkhu Sukhacitto.\nThe meditation will begin at 7:15\, and the evening program will end around 9:15. Please try to attend the full program. \nEvening Schedule Overview (approximate times) \n\n7:15 Brief silent meditation and announcements\n7:30 Talk introducing Insight Dialogue practice\n7:45 Guided meditation on 6 guidelines of Insight Dialogue\n8:00 Insight Dialogue contemplation\n9:00 Sharing\n9:15 End evening program\n\nInsight Dialogue is an interpersonal meditation practice that brings together meditative awareness\, the wisdom teachings of the Buddha\, and the power of relationship. It has the same purposes and traditional roots as silent meditation: developing mindfulness\, compassion and liberating insight\, while investigating present moment experience.\n\nDuring this evening\, we will introduce the six guidelines of Insight Dialogue (Pause\, Relax\, Open\, Attune to Emergence\, Listen Deeply\, Speak the Truth) and explore the practice in small groups as a foundation of spiritual friendship in the whole of our lives.\nBhikkhu Sukhacitto is an Insight Dialogue Teacher. He was born in Germany in 1963 and first came into contact with Buddhism in 1986 in Thailand by attending a meditation retreat\, offered through Wat Suan Mokkh. He ordained there as a novice in 1989 and as a monk in 1990. He returned to the West in 1993. Since then he has lived at various monasteries\, including Dhammapala Monastery in Switzerland for six years and Amaravati Monastery in the UK for 4 years. On his first Insight Dialogue retreat in 2005\, he was amazed by the powerful experience of meditating together with other people and subsequently joined many more Insight Dialogue retreats. In 2010 he began his teacher training with Gregory Kramer and other teachers. In his experience\, interpersonal meditation is an extremely helpful aid for the development of wholesome qualities. It bridges the gap between traditional silent meditation and our everyday lives and relations with other people. Bhikkhu Sukhacitto sees Insight Dialogue as an important tool for liberation. In 2016 Bhikkhu Sukhacitto founded Kalyana Mitta Vihara\, or “House of Noble Friendship\,” where relational practice is part of the living. \n\nInsight Meditation South Bay offers two weekly meditation groups—Tuesdays evenings we offer an open drop-in sitting group in Mountain View\, and Thursdays we offer structured courses in Saratoga. \nThe Tuesday sitting group meets every Tuesday evening for a meditation and Dhamma talk in Mountain View. The principal teacher is Shaila Catherine and guest speakers are featured regularly. Thematic series are periodically presented\, but whether or not a topic has been advertised in advance\, Shaila or a guest teacher will lead the sitting and offer teachings. See also weekly sitting. \nNewcomers are always welcome. To help newcomers get acquainted with mindfulness meditation and IMSB\, a senior member or teacher offers a beginner’s orientation beginning at 6:30 on the first Tuesday of each month. \nIMSB relies upon the generosity of participants to support our teachers and cover organizational expenses. Dana is a word in the ancient Pali language that describes donations\, offerings and generosity. Two bowls will be available at an event to practice dana for the teacher and IMSB; we encourage you to give joyfully and generously\, according to your resources and means. IMSB is a 501(c) (3) organization. All donations are tax deductible as permitted by law.
