SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Lesser Known Teachings
DESCRIPTION:Thus Have I Heard: Teachings Inspired by Lesser Known Discourses of the Buddha\nThe Pali Canon includes over 5\,000 discourses that document conversations and encounters that occurred during forty years of the Buddha’s ministry. Over the centuries\, certain teachings have risen to the surface with popularity and come to characterize our impression of what the Buddha taught. However\, the vast collection of source material reaches beyond these well known teachings. \nFor this speaker series\, IMSB has invited guest teachers to focus on teachings that have been largely neglected by contemporary Buddhist groups. Each talk will share a lesser-known teaching\, event\, or instruction that will enrich our comprehension of what the Buddha taught. We will discover whether broadening our source material reinforces the dominant view of Buddhist practice or paints a different picture of meditation and the path of liberation. \n\nApril 12 — with Sean Feit — Two Bright Qualities: Shame and Dread (hiri and ottappa) — Teachings from AN 7:65\nApril 19 — with Diana Clark — Sustaining Relationships — Teachings from AN 4:32\, AN 4:256  and AN 9:5\nApril 26 — with Tony Bernhard — Lessons from the Quarrel at Kosambi — Teachings from MN 48 and MN 128\nMay 3 — with Kim Allen — From Scared-in-the-Woods to Liberated — Teachings from MN 4\, on Fear and Dread\nMay 10 — with Andrea Fella — Becoming Freedom — Teachings from the Atthakavagga in the Sutta Nipata\nMay 17 — with Nona Olivia — Discerning a Trustworthy Teacher — Guidance from the Therigatha and Canki Sutta\nMay 24 – with Shaila Catherine — The Buddha’s Practical Advice for Maintaining Material Gains and Wealth\n\nAN = Anguttara Nikaya\, The Numerical Discourses of the Buddha\nMN = Majjhima Nikaya\, The Middle Length Discourses of the Buddha\n— Sutta reference numbers are based upon Bhikkhu Bodhi’s translation\, published by Wisdom Publications. \nRead speaker biographies on our Teacher’s Page. \nEveryone is welcome. Chairs are provided. Bring a cushion if you prefer to sit on the floor. \n\nInsight Meditation South Bay offers two weekly meditation groups—Tuesdays in Mountain View\, and Thursdays in Saratoga. \nThis group meets every Tuesday evening for a sitting 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.

SUMMARY:Daylong in Los Altos – Cultivating The Meditative Path
DESCRIPTION:A day of meditation with Shaila Catherine. \nIMSB offers a day of meditation one Saturday each month. These monthly day long programs offer a consistent and easy opportunity for meditators to maintain a steady commitment to meditation\, deepen their practice\, explore various dhamma themes\, and cultivate relationships with the community—and still be home in time for dinner! \nIn IMSB’s monthly day-long programs between March and August 2016\, Shaila Catherine will explore five qualities that make the mind capable of deep meditation and empower us to live at ease in this world. See Anguttara Nikaya 5:110\, translated by Bhikkhu Bodhi\, published by Wisdom Publications. The five supports of virtue\, learning\, energetic effort\, concentration and jhana\, and liberation of mind offer a comprehensive training for living with peace\, happiness\, and wisdom. \n\nMarch – Virtue\nMay – Learning\nJune – Energetic Effort\nJuly – Concentration and Jhana\nAugust – Liberation\n\nYou will find our schedule on our Daylong and Half-day Practice Calendar. \nEach day-long in the series will stand alone.  You do not need to join the full series to participate — you are welcome to attend as many or as few Saturdays as you wish. \nThere will be a pot-luck community meal around 12:30; please bring a food dish to share. \nEveryone is welcome. There is no registration. Folding chairs are provided. Bring a mat and cushion if you prefer to sit on the floor. Beginner’s to meditation are encouraged to come on time since both sitting and walking meditation instruction are usually offered in the mornings. \nThese monthly events may take place at any of the churches where we meet—in Los Altos\, Saratoga\, or Mountain View. Be sure to double check the website event listing to identify the correct location. \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.
