Offered by: Kim Allen
On Zoom with two supplemental meetings in-person at IMC

Registration closed June 25.

MAIN PROGRAM: Tuesdays: June 25, July 9, July 23, Aug 6, 2024 — 6:00 – 8:00 pm Pacific time — on Zoom
SUPPLEMENTAL SESSIONS: Sundays: June 30 & July 28, 1:00 – 2:30 pm
There are also two supplemental in-person sessions at IMC Redwood City for those able to come in person. These are not an official part of the program, but provide an opportunity for local participants to connect.

Life as a layperson committed to the Dharma involves harmonizing the activities of work, family, practice, and community. What is the role in our lay life for the simplicity and contemplation that the Buddha encourages in the suttas? If we wish to live in this way, it does mean choosing to slow down and perhaps let go of some activities. Far from bringing a feeling of lack or depletion, skillful simplification (renunciation) creates space for wisdom, care, intuition, and a wholesome sense of fullness to arise.

 Full Simplicity is a 6-week program with Kim Allen, author of Full Simplicity: The Art of Renunciation and Letting Go. Based on the book, this experiential program gives the opportunity to explore and deepen simplicity in one’s life. Participants are expected to engage in specific practices of letting go during this time, as well as readings, reflection, and certain meditation practices.
 
The program includes the following elements:

•  Based on the book “Full Simplicity: The Art of Renunciation and Letting Go,” by Kim Allen. Must purchase the book (print or electronic) in advance of the program.
• Four Tuesday meetings online, 6:00-8:00pm Pacific, Jun 25-Aug 6*. These span three 2-week segments. Must attend at least 3 of the 4, and full attendance is strongly recommended.
• Daily-life practices of letting go during each of the three segments
• Supportive meditations for each segment
• Readings from the book for each segment
• The group meetings include meditation, teachings, Q&A, and small-group discussion

El grupo de Dharma en Español se reúne cada martes de 6:30 p.m. a 8 p.m. No importa el nivel de experiencia o el tiempo que llevan practicando. Durante cada sesión se ofrece una meditación, una plática y una discusión en grupo. Por el momento las reuniones son virtuales a través de zoom:

TOPIC: Coral Vision: Artificial Intelligence for Reef Caretakers in a Century of Climate Change

Coral reefs, known as “rainforests of the ocean", harbor rich biodiversity and support marine life. It is well known that reefs are degraded by ocean warming and acidification, which will increase through much of the 21st century. The Coral Vision project aims to improve reef health during climate change by using machine learning analysis of large photographic data sets to compute strategies for selectively breeding hardy corals and transplanting them onto threatened reefs. We hope that this treatment will produce reefs that will be resilient to the effects of climate change, and thus will continue to protect life on Earth. This talk will cover the present status and future directions of Coral Vision, from both scientific and dharmic perspectives.

On Zoom with two supplemental meetings in-person at IMC

Registration closed June 25.

MAIN PROGRAM: Tuesdays: June 25, July 9, July 23, Aug 6, 2024 — 6:00 – 8:00 pm Pacific time — on Zoom
SUPPLEMENTAL SESSIONS: Sundays: June 30 & July 28, 1:00 – 2:30 pm
There are also two supplemental in-person sessions at IMC Redwood City for those able to come in person. These are not an official part of the program, but provide an opportunity for local participants to connect.

Life as a layperson committed to the Dharma involves harmonizing the activities of work, family, practice, and community. What is the role in our lay life for the simplicity and contemplation that the Buddha encourages in the suttas? If we wish to live in this way, it does mean choosing to slow down and perhaps let go of some activities. Far from bringing a feeling of lack or depletion, skillful simplification (renunciation) creates space for wisdom, care, intuition, and a wholesome sense of fullness to arise.

 Full Simplicity is a 6-week program with Kim Allen, author of Full Simplicity: The Art of Renunciation and Letting Go. Based on the book, this experiential program gives the opportunity to explore and deepen simplicity in one’s life. Participants are expected to engage in specific practices of letting go during this time, as well as readings, reflection, and certain meditation practices.
 
The program includes the following elements:

•  Based on the book “Full Simplicity: The Art of Renunciation and Letting Go,” by Kim Allen. Must purchase the book (print or electronic) in advance of the program.
• Four Tuesday meetings online, 6:00-8:00pm Pacific, Jun 25-Aug 6*. These span three 2-week segments. Must attend at least 3 of the 4, and full attendance is strongly recommended.
• Daily-life practices of letting go during each of the three segments
• Supportive meditations for each segment
• Readings from the book for each segment
• The group meetings include meditation, teachings, Q&A, and small-group discussion

El grupo de Dharma en Español se reúne cada martes de 6:30 p.m. a 8 p.m. No importa el nivel de experiencia o el tiempo que llevan practicando. Durante cada sesión se ofrece una meditación, una plática y una discusión en grupo. Por el momento las reuniones son virtuales a través de zoom:

Entering the World of the Pali Canon 

with Ying Chen, Diana Clark, David Lorey and Kim Allen

The history, structure, study, and practices of the Early Buddhist texts made accessible to modern times

A Sati Center Study-and-Practice course offered via Zoom

July 16, 18, 20, 2024 (Tues, Thurs, Sat)

8:30-10:00am Pacific

Sometimes in Dharma talks we hear teachers refer to a sutta passage, “what the Buddha said,” or to “the Pali Canon.” What are they referring to? How can we find these passages ourselves and how do we know the Buddha even said these things? In this course we’ll explore the three “baskets" (tipitaka) of the Pali Canon, with particular attention to the specific books containing the suttas (discourses). The class includes reading and discussing several texts, along with suggestions for ways to practice with texts as part of one’s spiritual path. Each session also includes meditation and small-group interaction. This class is suitable for people new to the Pali Canon as well as those more familiar with it. 

Registration to receive the Zoom link and more information here

Join us for a 35 minute lightly guided meditation, a short Dharma talk, and practice questions & discussion. The meditation instructions include the four foundations of mindfulness, emphasizing embodied receptive awareness, mind states, and mental activity. Our teachings draw on many of the Buddha’s teachings, and include the approach of Sayadaw U Tejaniya.

Offered by: Kim Allen
On Zoom with two supplemental meetings in-person at IMC

Registration closed June 25.

MAIN PROGRAM: Tuesdays: June 25, July 9, July 23, Aug 6, 2024 — 6:00 – 8:00 pm Pacific time — on Zoom
SUPPLEMENTAL SESSIONS: Sundays: June 30 & July 28, 1:00 – 2:30 pm
There are also two supplemental in-person sessions at IMC Redwood City for those able to come in person. These are not an official part of the program, but provide an opportunity for local participants to connect.

Life as a layperson committed to the Dharma involves harmonizing the activities of work, family, practice, and community. What is the role in our lay life for the simplicity and contemplation that the Buddha encourages in the suttas? If we wish to live in this way, it does mean choosing to slow down and perhaps let go of some activities. Far from bringing a feeling of lack or depletion, skillful simplification (renunciation) creates space for wisdom, care, intuition, and a wholesome sense of fullness to arise.

 Full Simplicity is a 6-week program with Kim Allen, author of Full Simplicity: The Art of Renunciation and Letting Go. Based on the book, this experiential program gives the opportunity to explore and deepen simplicity in one’s life. Participants are expected to engage in specific practices of letting go during this time, as well as readings, reflection, and certain meditation practices.
 
The program includes the following elements:

•  Based on the book “Full Simplicity: The Art of Renunciation and Letting Go,” by Kim Allen. Must purchase the book (print or electronic) in advance of the program.
• Four Tuesday meetings online, 6:00-8:00pm Pacific, Jun 25-Aug 6*. These span three 2-week segments. Must attend at least 3 of the 4, and full attendance is strongly recommended.
• Daily-life practices of letting go during each of the three segments
• Supportive meditations for each segment
• Readings from the book for each segment
• The group meetings include meditation, teachings, Q&A, and small-group discussion

El grupo de Dharma en Español se reúne cada martes de 6:30 p.m. a 8 p.m. No importa el nivel de experiencia o el tiempo que llevan practicando. Durante cada sesión se ofrece una meditación, una plática y una discusión en grupo. Por el momento las reuniones son virtuales a través de zoom:

In-person at IMC

This gathering is for people enrolled in the Full Simplicity online class. Registration closed on June 25. 

SUPPLEMENTAL SESSIONS: Sundays: June 30 & July 28, 1:00 – 2:30 pm
These sessions are not an official part of the program, but provide an opportunity for local participants to connect

Life as a layperson committed to the Dharma involves harmonizing the activities of work, family, practice, and community. What is the role in our lay life for the simplicity and contemplation that the Buddha encourages in the suttas? If we wish to live in this way, it does mean choosing to slow down and perhaps let go of some activities. Far from bringing a feeling of lack or depletion, skillful simplification (renunciation) creates space for wisdom, care, intuition, and a wholesome sense of fullness to arise.

 Full Simplicity is a 6-week program with Kim Allen, author of Full Simplicity: The Art of Renunciation and Letting Go. Based on the book, this experiential program gives the opportunity to explore and deepen simplicity in one’s life. Participants are expected to engage in specific practices of letting go during this time, as well as readings, reflection, and certain meditation practices.

The program includes the following elements:

• Based on the book “Full Simplicity: The Art of Renunciation and Letting Go,” by Kim Allen. Must purchase the book (print or electronic) in advance of the program.
• Four Tuesday meetings online, 6:00-8:00pm Pacific, Jun 25-Aug 6*. These span three 2-week segments. Must attend at least 3 of the 4, and full attendance is strongly recommended.
• Daily-life practices of letting go during each of the three segments
• Supportive meditations for each segment
• Readings from the book for each segment
• The group meetings include meditation, teachings, Q&A, and small-group discussion

Sunday evenings, 7:30 to 9pm. (except the 2nd Sunday of the month). This weekly group addresses themes relevant to people in their 20s and 30s and includes guided meditation, a brief dharma talk, and group discussion. We have a friendly and vibrant ongoing community, and those in their 20s/30s are welcome to join us.
