2018-11-2137 minDharma Insight | Insight Meditation Community of CharlottesvilleWhy Truth-Telling Still (and Always) MattersSusan Stone shares that at a time when truth is a frequent hostage to those with the loudest or angriest voices, our insight tradition teaches truth-telling as a practice.

Following a guided meditation, Susan Stone will explore how truth-telling is a sane and compassionate practice that leads us onward on our spiritual journey.

As humans, we are naturally inclined to move away from anything challenging and toward pleasure. That is how we roll. Given that, establishing a transformative spiritual practice is significantly supported by finding ways to bring elements of pleasantness into practice.

The Buddha has declared that a Wise View is both the beginning and end of the contemplative path. Without the arising of even a tepid perspective that a contemplative practice might hold some benefit for you there is no further exploration. No contemplative practice ever gets started.

2018-01-1727 minDharma Insight | Insight Meditation Community of CharlottesvilleFive Kinds of HappinessSharon Beckman-Brindley gave this dharma talk at IMCC on Jan 09, 2018.
"The purpose of life is to be happy." --Dalai Lama
The Buddha developed and then taught about states of happiness: those that are dependent on conditions and those that are not dependent on any conditions at all. The path that he has given us is primarily a path to the latter: a happiness that is completely independent of conditions.
Sometimes, however, when we offer the Buddha's teachings on ultimate awakening, it can appear that we are denigrating "lesser" kinds: the happiness of the simple pleasant: contact with the natural world...

“That gladness connected with what is wholesome, I call an equipment of mind for overcoming ill-will and hostility.” --The Buddha
In difficut times we are encouraged to connect with the wholesome. In the words of singer-songwriter and Zen priest Leonard Cohen, we might best focus our energy to "ring the bells that still can ring."

Not being clear about how who “our people” have been—and are—can be a source of suffering, confusion, and conflict, subtle and not so subtle, both within and without. How can we open to that spacious field where all are “our people”? This talk will take a look at using our mindfulness practice to explore and hold kindly the life we were born into as a way of opening our minds—and our hearts— to “the other”, and to bringing more spaciousness and peace to ourselves and those around us.

2017-12-0627 minDharma Insight | Insight Meditation Community of CharlottesvilleWho Do You Think You Are?Sharon Beckman-Brindley gave this dharma talk at IMCC on Nov 28, 2017.
In our ordinary way of looking at things, we usually see ourselves and others through socially constructed perceptions and limited views. These do, indeed, have some practical utility. Nevertheless, if we misunderstand, we can identify with these perceptions and views in ways that can lead to much suffering for ourselves and others. This evening's talk will explore this process and will offer an invitation to soften our attachments to our perceptions and views as we open to a larger mystery.

Much of the time, we live, not so much in a real world, but in the filtered world made up of all of the perceptions, interpretations and stories we have learned over a lifetime. The Buddha referred to these as mirages that keep our own and others' suffering in place. Spiritual practice invites us to cultivate qualities of mind and heart that enable us to see with wider and wiser eyes. This talk explores how to do this - even at our holiday dinner tables.

In our practice, we regularly hear beautiful and wholesome instruction on presence, on peace and on mindfulness and concentration: "Be here now." When we actually sit on our cushions, however, especially after reading the morning headlines, or anticipating a difficult phone call, or following a challenging day at work or with those hordes of visiting relatives, or considering the white supremacy rallies in Charlottesville, we can easily despair as the mind and emotions wander about.
This evening's talk will explore very specifically how our practice...

When life is challenging, internally or externally, we can find ourselves confused and uncertain about how to live our spiritual practice, how to proceed. While all of the Dharma is a guide, we can still be confused in the moment: what is mine to do? Here? Now?
Tonight's talk will explore and hopefully strengthen our personal and unique ability to rest in this confusion as a perfect doorway to the clarity of the sacred.

We celebrate July 4th in the USA with words and symbols that express philosophical values of democracy and equality. Yet we are aware of explicit and implicit bias, a transparent disparity and inequity, that creates harm in our selves, our community, the world. In the face of suffering, how do we remember, and embody, our interdependence, in order to respond wisely and kindly?

Staying at home in the body is a portal to awakening. The Buddha taught that it is just that simple.
"There is one thing that when cultivated and regularly practiced leads to deep spiritual intention, to peace, to mindfulness and clear comprehension, to vision and knowledge, to a happy life here and now. And to the culmination of wisdom and awakening. And what is that one thing? Mindfulness centered on the body." --The Buddha

A full life path considers the totality of the human being in the world we are living in now. It is an open invitation to stop, inquire, and recognize what is true and liberating at the core of all existence. When we attend to our own healing and maturation and we develop skills to engage, the depth of our understanding and practice of Dhamma becomes more fully alive in service to ourselves, our communities and the world.

The talk traces the major stages of the meditative journey and shows how our reasons for meditating change as practice deepens—from meditating for relief from our current painful circumstances and to improve oneself, to meditating for no other reason than to meditate. Far from taking us away from the world, the mindfulness journey invites us to engage with the world in our authentic way with a heart of compassion. Ultimately, it transforms one so that increasingly Buddha Nature shines naturally through one’s actions.

Habits—the ways we regularly think, feel and act—flow on super-efficient pathways in the brain formed by their repetition over time. Similar to automatic reflexes, habit patterns handle nearly half of our daily activities, from brushing our teeth to driving a car. While some of these habits are necessary and helpful, some are unhealthy and even harmful.

Mindfulness of the Breath is the first meditation practice in the Satipatthana Sutta (The Four Foundations of Mindfulness), the most well-known discourse by the Buddha. He held mindfulness of breathing in high regard:
Twenty years after the Buddha attained enlightenment, a senior monk by the name of Ananda became his personal attendant. One day he asked the Buddha, “Venerable sir, if people ask me whether you are still practicing meditation, what shall I tell them?” The Buddha replied that, yes, he was still meditating “What kind o...
