In the season of Thanksgiving, Gil Fronsdale
offers some words for reflection
"Generosity is not limited to the giving of material things. We can be generous with our kindness and our receptivity. These forms of generosity are clearly not related to wealth. Generosity can mean the simple giving of a smile or extending ourselves to really listen to a friend.
Paradoxically, even being willing to receive the generosity of others can be a form of generosity."
"We can also give the gift of fearlessness, a quality that develops as we mature in our practice. As we become increasingly rooted in ethics, wisdom and fearlessness, other beings will have less and less reason to fear us. In a world filled with fear, such fearlessness is a much needed gift. One description of an enlightened person is someone who helps dispel other people's fear.
"...In the Buddhist tradition, such people are known as dispellers of fear. They give the gift of fearlessness. Fearlessness is not necessarily the absence of fear. It is a positive quality that can exist side by side with fear, overcoming the limitations arising out of fear. Such fearlessness can be a profound gift to the people around us...."

Triangle Insight
Welcoming Committee
|
Sangha means spiritual community, and it is treasured because without it awakening cannot be sustained."
--Jack Kornfield,
After the Ecstasy, the Laundry
Sangha is one of the precious jewels of Buddhist practice, yet when new to a sangha, it can be difficult to meet others, learn what programs are offered, and feel a sense of belonging. The Welcoming Committee was formed to make this process easier, help newcomers feel welcome, and foster the experience of connection and community. Our intentions include having a diverse committee that will support a rich, inclusive sangha where all feel welcome and safe.
To give newcomers an overview of our sangha and its offerings, we've developed a brochure,
Welcome to Triangle Insight. We're also available to talk with you at the end of Wednesday sangha, and we're providing name tags for those open to wearing one. The name tags are reusable, and we'll keep them for you between meetings. These are just a few of our initiatives and ideas.
Anyone can be a greeter and talk with newcomers, you don't have to be a member of the WC and you don't need to sign up in advance. Simply come to the WC table at the back of the room before or after Sangha and be alert for newcomers. It's a joy to help create a welcoming community. WC members will handle set up and take down of name tags and the WC table.
Our members and other initiatives are listed on our
web page. We would also be happy to have additional members; if you might like to join our committee, please review ou
r Welcoming Committee Responsibilities and talk with us at Wednesday evening sangha. As a new committee, our plans are a work in progress, and we're very interested in your suggestions, feedback, and questions.
Please talk with one of us or email us at
[email protected]
.
With shared commitment to the dharma, we hope our work will be of benefit to all who join us in this practice.

Retreats are announced in this space when offered and available.

TIM SPIRITUAL FRIENDS GROUPS
|
Having admirable people as friends, companions, and colleagues is actually th
e whole of the holy life.
~ The Buddha
When we experience suffering, whether within us or the larger community, the inner critic of judgmental mind can fill our thoughts with blame, shame, and ill will. As Christina Feldman notes in
Silencing the Inner Critic,
"...it is essential to mark the distinction between the voice of the inner critic and our capacity for discernment and discriminating wisdom." It is discriminating wisdom, not judgmental mind, that "inspires us to act in ways that bring suffering and harm to an end." However, as she points out, this doesn't mean turning away from our judgmental mind. "Instead of fleeing the painfulness of the judgmental mind we can turn toward it, sensing that everything we are invited to understand in the journey of awakening can be understood within the judgmental mind."
Our Kalyana Mitta and Racial Affinity groups offer a special opportunity to develop this understanding by bringing the judgmental mind into relational practice. Rather than reject or shame our inner critic, we share it with trusted spiritual friends who hold it with tenderness and care. In the words of Christina Feldman, "We can begin to sense that the inner critic truly warrants compassion, as does any suffering and affliction...we need to turn our attention to the judgmental mind and embrace its pain with the same mindfulness we would bring to a pain in our body or to another's sorrow." Our spiritual friends groups help us open to that pain so we can release it and move from aversion to understanding, from critique to compassion. This is the beautiful gift of sangha as we journey together on this path with heart.
Please read the following sections to learn more about current activities of the Kalyana Mitta and Racial Affinity groups.
**********************
The KM-RA Coordinating Team of Sarah Tillis, Beth Lauderdale, and Tamara Share expresses deep gratitude for the dedication of our sangha. May our Kalyana Mitta and Racial Affinity groups be of great benefit to all.

A list of our groups is below. If you would like to join a group, be on a waiting list, or start a new group, please send us a KM Questionnaire, talk with Sarah Tillis, KM Coordinator, or write Sarah at [email protected]
We currently have openings in two KM groups:
The following KM groups have a waiting list:
- Chapel Hill-Carrboro
- Durham Young Adults
- Secular Dharma

Racial Affinity groups (affectionately known as RAGs) allow people to deepen self-awareness around issues of race in small, racially homogeneous groups. RAGs provide a safe, consistent meeting space where members can integrate the dharma into their exploration of racial belonging and racial habits of harm. Waking up to the realities of racial legacy, conditioning and systems is a challenging process, but an essential one. The acceptance we bring to each other, as well as our shared understanding of the dharma, help us to heal and act more skillfully in the world.
Racial Affinity group members share a commitment to racial equality and are guided by Ruth King's work, yet each group develops and evolves in its own way.
Two new Racial Affinity Groups have formed out of the recent Mindful of Race workshop that Ruth King led in March.
If you are interested in joining a Racial Affinity group or would like more information, you are invited to contact our RAG Coordinator,
Beth Lauderdale, at
[email protected].
You can also visit our
our Racial Affinity Groups page, which includes helpful articles and other resources.

TIM PROGRAMS and COMMITTEES

A Sangha Support Initiative
|
Caring Circles is a Triangle Insight program whose purpose is to connect community members needing temporary assistance with volunteers willing to provide help. Assistance can take as many forms as there is need, such as meals, rides, housework, lawn care or childcare.
This exchange pairs needed service with volunteers to match. If you wish be notified when another member needs and requests support, send an email to [email protected] asking to be added to the list of potential volunteers. Thereafter, you will receive email notifications of care requests. You decide if you can and want to respond to any request. There is no obligation on your part by signing up to receive these notifications.
You can find this information plus details on how to request support on the Shramadana webpage.
Over the next few months we will be reorganizing the Shramadana Project activities. In the meantime, if you have need of any services, please follow the instructions on the Shramadana webpage or you can also speak or email with Gordy Livermore and Mary Mudd for more information.

The Shramadana Project
A Volunteer Initiative
of Triangle Insight
|
|
The Shramadana Project (SP) has been a volunteer initiative of the Triangle Insight Meditation Community that was organized to address some of the interests expressed within the sangha and for outreach to the community-at-large.
This project has outgrown its current form and now needs to evolve into a more meaningful structure.Some activities including Media Night, workshops and retreats would fit well with a new "Programs Committee".Other volunteer opportunities might better fit with a group or committee for "Engaged Buddhism" or "Community-at-Large Activities," or others yet to be created.
Past activities, meeting minutes and the list of community organizations for the SP are available on the
SP webpage.
Ideas on how to organize these activities are welcome and should be sent to
[email protected].
If beings knew, as I know, the results of giving
and sharing, they would not eat without having given...

Workshops Bein
g O
ffered
|
In response to our efforts to engage the Buddhist teachings around the issues of Racial Justice and Diversity, we would like to recommend the training opportunities available through
OARNC (Organizing Against Racism NC) as a first step in this investigation.
Eighteen
of us from Triangle Insight have already participated in these workshops and they come highly recommended, so you are encouraged to participate if interested. If three or more attend an event from our sangha, you will each get a discount on the fee for being a part of the Triangle Insight Meditation Community.
Although OARNC is not an internal TIMC program, TI is contributing $500 to start a scholarship fund for three or more Sangha members attending together, and the community is invited to join the initiative by contributing specifically to the scholarship fund.
The fund will be available to support TI community members in attending OARNC or other similar trainings. The goal of this initiative is to help individuals and the community to deepen their understanding of the way that unexamined views of race limit the mind and human systems.
Scholarships will be available on a case by case basis to help supplement the cost of registration. To contribute now through PayPal, please
donate here
.
OARNC offers two phases of training, and the latter trainings are designed to assist us in bringing this knowledge back to our community so as to guide us more skillfully in addressing these issues in Triangle Insight. Please visit their website by clicking on the link above for descriptions of these phases of training.
1) have any questions about this initiative
2) would like to be considered for a scholarship
3) want to contribute toward a scholarship, and
4) wish to be a part of the core group to discuss our plans after completing the trainings.
Meeting at a variety of times & dates in Durham & Chapel Hill
Each workshop is two days, 8:30 AM - 5:30 PM
Cost: $275 ($225 with 3+ discount; student $175)

The Practice of Insight Dialogue
|
Insight Dialogue is an interpersonal meditation practice and is offered at Triangle Insight once monthly, usually on the fourth Wednesday of the month. It brings the mindfulness and tranquility of silent meditation directly into our experience with other people. The new website for Insight Dialogue is an excellent resource for learning more about the practice:
www.metta.org.
The evening begins with silent meditation practice, followed by gentle mindful movement, and then shifting into dyad practice where interpersonal mindfulness is explored with a partner in response to a contemplation that is offered. The dyad practice is optional so that anyone who chooses to remain in silent practice may do so, rather than shifting into dyad practice. One can investigate the guidance of the contemplation internally, noticing the moment by moment unfolding of internal experience. Also note that the ID practice goes from 6:30 to 8:30 PM to allow for more spaciousness and time for questions. We hope you will be able to join us.

Men's Sharing Group

This group is open to ALL MEN regardless of their tradition or path, or affiliation with the Triangle Insight Meditation Community.
Our intention is to hear each other's interests, concerns, and ideas about forming and sustaining a group, all while getting to know each other. There will be a short period of meditating. A couple of us will help moderate the discussion initially but going forward, the leadership could be something collaborative, shared by all participants. It's a work in progress.
At its core, the group should be a space where men can share from their hearts about their experiences being men, following a meditative path -- and offering support to one another along the way.
Some dana to defray expenses is welcome, but, of course, optional. Let us know if you think you'll attend.
