Greetings to all -
We are pleased to report back on the process in which we have been engaged over the past few months related to the values, norms, and structures of Triangle Insight. We oulined this process in previous sangha-wide emails, as well as during the open sangha meeting in December. As you may recall, o
ur
revised bylaws
include the provision for expanding the board from the current four directors up to nine directors, and our intention has been to have a full complement of directors if possible. After the month-long period of receiving nominations for consideration, the legacy Board of Directors is pleased to announce the slate of directors for the expanded board that will be elected at the Annual Open Board Meeting on Wednesday, February 20th. They are as follows:
Emily Burke,
Cathy Cole,
Mike Hall,
Leah Rutchick, and Sarah Tillis.
We also want to remind you that Scott Bryce and Phyllis Hicks have indicated their intention to remain on the board during this time of transition, planning to step down at a point where it feels appropriate. This will then open the board to other individuals within the sangha to serve our community in this capacity. Cynthia Hughey and Ron Vereen will remain on the board for now; however, Cynthia will move from the responsibilities of Secretary/Treasurer to Treasurer only, and Ron will step down as President.
We want to take this opportunity to express our deep appreciation to all of you who have been engaged along the way in this exploration of our values, norms, and structure, and for those who submitted board nominations for consideration by the board. Our hearts warm as we reflect on the collective wisdom that resides within our community that has been so evident in this process, and it builds our confidence for the sustainability of Triangle Insight in the years ahead.
With gratitude,
Scott Bryce, Phyllis Hicks, Cynthia Hughey, and Ron Vereen

loving-kindness, and compassion may be the most

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.
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. As a new committee, our plans are a work in progress, and we're very interested in your suggestions, feedback, and questions.
Our members and our other initiatives are listed on our
web page
. 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.

TIM SPIRITUAL FRIENDS GROUPS
|
Kalyana Mitta Groups
Racial Affinity Groups
Having admirable people as friends, companions, and colleagues is actually th
e whole of the holy life.
~ The Buddha
In his recent dharma talk Scott Bryce presented a rich exploration of authenticity, one of Triangle Insight's core values. This was enhanced by the sangha's discussion, which both acknowledged and manifested the importance of spiritual friends.
In
The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching
, Thich Nhat Hanh says, "We have individual eyes and Sangha eyes. When a Sangha shines its light on our personal views, we see more clearly."
The trust that develops in our Kalyana Mitta and Racial Affinity groups provides a special opportunity to see ourselves more clearly and share our truth more openly. Traveling this beautiful path together, our hearts soften, our intentions are more evident, and we move through the world with greater authenticity and skill.
Please read the following sections to learn more about current activities of the Kalyana Mitta and Racial Affinities groups.
**********************
The KM-RA Coordinating Team of Sarah Tillis, Karen Ziegler, 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 New KM Group
:
We are forming the
Durham Young Adults KM Group
, for those in their 20s and 30s. A Kalyana Mitta group for members in the same phase of life can offer a special community for the spiritual growth of each member and the group as a whole.
We currently have openings in four groups:
- Insight Dialogue KM Group for individuals with Insight Dialogue experience
- Durham Young Adults KM Group, which is being formed
- Secular Buddhism KM Group: Study Group
Chapel Hill-Carrboro KM Group has a waiting group.
For information about our KM program, please email or talk with Sarah, or visit our
KM web page.

Members of our Racial Affinity groups continue to deepen self-awareness around issues of race in small, racially homogeneous groups that integrate the dharma into members' personal and collective exploration. Waking up to white supremacy and the ways we have internalized it is a painful process, and the acceptance we bring to each other, as well as our shared understanding of the dharma, helps us to heal and strive to act more constructively 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.
If you're interested in joining a Racial Affinity group or would like more information, you are invited to contact Karen Ziegler, RA Coordinator, at
[email protected].

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. You can also speak with Gordy Livermore, Mary Mudd or Howard Staab 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.
Visit the SP website
.
Mary Mudd has been the SP coordinator since its inception, and we would like to express our deep gratitude to her for her commitment and dedication to this work. At our last meeting, Mary announced that she plans to step down, and the group looked at the question of whether the SP was going to be relevant in its current role given the anticipated changes in the governance structure of Triangle Insight. You can review these minutes here as well as further information and minutes of these meetings on the SP page of our website.
OTHER OPPORTUNITIES for COMMUNITY ACTIVITY may also be found on the webpage.
- list of community organizations seeking volunteers to further their missions of nonviolence, racial and social equity, and supporting youth. If you know of other groups to add to this list, please send a note with their contact information to Mary Mudd.
- Retreats/Workshops. Several of these events have been organized over the years, most recently the Insight Dialogue New Year's retreat in January with Phyllis Hicks as well one with Jeanne van Gemert and Ron Vereen in May. We recently participated with a collaborative group to bring Lama Rod Owens to the Triangle from Oct. 22 - 29, 2018 and will be planning two residential retreats this spring: Mindful Race with Ruth King, and a Memorial Day Weekend retreat with Jeanne van Gemert and Ron Vereen.
- REAL Durham builds relationships across lines of privilege, race and class to improve economic stability for everyone. It uses a racial equity lens to connect those with and without privilege for the purpose of transferring power and better positioning those without privilege to achieve financial stability. Volunteer training is held several times a year - check out their website for more information.

and sharing, they would not eat without having given...

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.
TI
is contributing $500 to start a scholarship fund for this purpose, 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.

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.
