Sati Center Study and Practice Series with David Lorey, Diana Clark, Ying Chen and Kim AllenThree days in one weekMon Aug 8, 8:30-10:100am Pacific
Wed Aug 10, 8:30-10:100am Pacific
Fri Aug 12, 8:30-10:100am Pacific
Our exploration of the
Ambattha Sutta of the Dīgha Nikāya (DN 3) will seek to recreate the high drama of the exchanges between the Buddha, an arrogant Brahmin student, and that student’s teacher. Bringing these ancient exchanges to life in a theatrical play form, with attention to the context of a culture of oral storytelling and public debate in which they occurred, allows for a new way to communicate core teachings of the Buddha—including the gradual training, what constitutes a “true brahmin,” non-attachment to views, and the four noble truths. Although the setting of DN 3 is the ancient world, its treatment of caste, superiority conceit, and prejudice remain strikingly relevant for our lives. Sessions will include guided meditation, short teachings (dharmettes), small-group discussion, and Q&A.
Please register to receive the Zoom link and other information about this courseThe Sati Center’s Study-and-Practice series combines explorations of the discourses from Early Buddhism with ways of applying these teachings to meditation and daily life.
Taught by four friends who wish to share their love of studying the texts and practicing together with others, the courses focus on either individual suttas or on themes that emerge from a collection of suttas.
The teaching team is Ying Chen, Diana Clark,
Kim Allen and David Lorey.
The course will be offered via Zoom and is sponsored by the
Sati Center.

Please register to receive Zoom link and other information about this course.
The Sutta Nipata culminates with a moving series of questions from sixteen brahmins to the Buddha, wrapped in a devotional narrative. It is unique in its literary form and emotional impact, and the questions by the brahmin students reveal them to be advanced practitioners with a sincere desire to learn. The chapter is quoted in the Suttas themselves, and remains a touchstone to this day. In this course, Bhante Sujato will read and comment from his own translation. The course aims to convey both the emotional uplift and incisive analysis of this foundational work.
https://suttacentral.net/snp-parayanavagga?view=dense------------------------------------
Bhante Sujato is a senior teaching monk in Australia and the region. He is currently focussing on leading the team for SuttaCentral, a website for early Buddhist texts, translations, and parallels. He is also passionate about climate work and other contemporary issues. Many of his works can be found online at

At the heart of mindfulness meditation is the practice of moment-to-moment observation which cultivates a clear, stable and non-judgmental awareness.

Five Thursdays evenings: August 4 - Sept 1, 6:30- 8:00pm.
Mindfulness meditation, also known as insight meditation or vipassana, is a simple technique that concentrates and calms the mind. At the heart of mindfulness meditation is the practice of moment-to-moment observation which cultivates a clear, stable and non-judgmental awareness. While mindfulness practice can be highly effective in helping bring calm and clarity to the pressures of daily life, it is also a spiritual path that gradually dissolves the barriers to the full development of our wisdom and compassion.
During this introductory course, the basic instructions in mindfulness meditation will be given sequentially, starting with a focus on mindfulness of breathing, followed by mindfulness of the body, emotions, thinking, and the application of mindfulness in daily life.
In-person activities at IMC require everyone to be vaccinated, boosted, and wearing N95 masks.
No registration is required.

Five Thursdays evenings: August 4 - Sept 1, 6:30- 8:00pm.
Mindfulness meditation, also known as insight meditation or vipassana, is a simple technique that concentrates and calms the mind. At the heart of mindfulness meditation is the practice of moment-to-moment observation which cultivates a clear, stable and non-judgmental awareness. While mindfulness practice can be highly effective in helping bring calm and clarity to the pressures of daily life, it is also a spiritual path that gradually dissolves the barriers to the full development of our wisdom and compassion.
During this introductory course, the basic instructions in mindfulness meditation will be given sequentially, starting with a focus on mindfulness of breathing, followed by mindfulness of the body, emotions, thinking, and the application of mindfulness in daily life.
In-person activities at IMC require everyone to be vaccinated, boosted, and wearing N95 masks.
No registration is required.

The Buddha’s most explicit path of practice is the Eightfold Path— a set of eight practical approaches to bring Buddhist practice into the width and depth of our lives. The Eightfold Path Program is an introduction to each of the Eightfold factors so participants will discover how to apply each set of practices in ways that are personally meaningful.
Pre-requisite: completion of IMC’s Introduction to Meditation course or the equivalent.
The registration and Mentor application form is found here.
Please register. The in-person and online versions of the program will occur parallel at the same time. Participants can attend either version throughout the program. After registering, you will receive Zoom links and course materials by email. A longer application is required to be assigned a mentor in addition to the group meetings. Mentoring slots may fill.
Team teaching is Chris Clifford, Liz Powell, David Lowrey, Marjolein Janssen, Ying Chen, Sandra Sanabria, Wendy Lo, Lilu Chen and Ari Crelin-Quick, Tanya Wiser
The program has the following elements:
- 2-1/2 hour monthly meetings that include teachings, meditation, and discussions.
- Readings, reflections, and practices for each month.
- A monthly one-hour personal meeting with an Eightfold Path mentor (if you apply for this) to discuss one’s practice and reflections on the Eightfold Path factors.
- Four optional drop-in Discussion/Q&A sessions for anyone, but especially for those with no personal mentor.
- Ends with a one-day Eightfold Path retreat on Zoom.
Contact eightfoldpath@insightmeditationcenter.org with questions.
