" . . . Empathy is commonly viewed as putting yourself in someone else's shoes and imagining how you would feel. That could be seen as a start, but that is little more than role-playing, and it is not enough in the ruptured world we live in.
"Radical empathy, on the other hand, means putting in the work to educate oneself and to listen with a humble heart to understand another's experience from their perspective, not as we imagine we would feel. Radical empathy is not about you and what you think you would do in a situation you have never been in and perhaps never will. It is the kindred connection from a place of deep knowing that opens your spirit to the pain of another as they perceive it."
- Isabel Wilkerson, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontent

Renewing our Practice: Third Annual Triangle Insight Daylong Retreat
Led by Sarah Bryce
Let us welcome Spring together by gathering to refresh and renew our practice, to "fluff" it, as Jeanne van Gemert might say, as we Spring-clean our Dharma houses. We will spend the morning together online, re-establishing our mindfulness and concentration, with guided sitting and walking meditation periods, and with some opportunities for Q&A and hearing the Dharma. We will then transition to an afternoon of self-practice, reconvening in late afternoon for a closing tea-time sharing of the fruits of our practice and a final Metta meditation.
This retreat is for all levels of practitioners, and is offered on a Dana basis. It will be led by Sarah Bryce, guiding teacher of Mindful Families of Durham and a guest teacher at Triangle Insight. To register, or if you have questions, please email: sarahbryce10@gmail.com
Sangha means spiritual community, and it is treasured because without it awakening cannot be sustained
Jack Kornfield, After the Ecstasy, the Laundry
The Welcoming Committee wishes to foster the experience of belonging to a diverse, tolerant community connected through mindfulness practice, where all feel welcome and safe. We seek to link all members and newcomers to ongoing activities and to ensure the Zoom connection is available.
We have developed a brochure to give an overview of our sangha and some of its activities. You can download it here:Welcome to Triangle Insight.
Someone from the Welcoming Committee will remain on the Zoom connection at the end of Wednesday evening sangha meetings, should anyone have a question or want to talk about a sangha-relevant topic.
A Welcoming Committee member now monitors the all-purpose email: info@triangleinsight.org to answer questions about the sangha, newsletter subscription, teacher availability, and Triangle Insight's meeting schedules. If we don't have an answer, we will put you in touch with someone who does.
If you would like to join the Welcoming Committee as a dana gesture of support for the Triangle Insight Community, please let us know through the still-active email:welcome@triangleinsight.org.
With shared commitment to the dharma, we hope our work will be of benefit to all who join us in this practice.
The Triangle Insight Board of Directors will be holding a closed meeting on March 13 to discuss the process for filling Board vacancies.

TO ENGAGE YOUR PRACTICE
Before We Were White
A 6-part course from White Awake
Facilitators: Eleanor Hancock and David Dean Guest Teachers: Katrina Messenger, Katrina Browne, Bonnie Duran
"Before We Were White" is an online course for people with European ancestry (white and/or multiracial) who want to work with this ancestral line as a means of bringing greater emotional resilience to their participation in collective liberation struggles.
"Before We Were White is an invitation to peer through the thin veil of time and consider the choices and circumstances of our European ancestors that are woven into the foundations of our society today. While maintaining a secure container, this course invites you into a journey of becoming "more truly yourself," purified and strengthened to do the work of collective liberation with increased capacity and wholeness.
"Each of us belongs to a collective body of people with a story (or stories) that reach before us and after us in time. Before they were ever classified as "white" our ancestors were distinct peoples with their own unique cultures and relationships to place. What happened to them? How did white supremacy and colonization change them? Did anyone resist? Can we build relationship with this legacy in a way that nurtures our ability to work for a better world today?"
Dates: Jan 24, Jan 31, Feb 14, Feb 21, March 7, March 14
Time: 4pm - 6:30pm ET (1-3:30pm PT)

Financial Support: Scholarships for Training Programs and Workshops in Racial Justice and Diversity
Engaging Buddhist teachings and real-world issues
The TIMC Board would like to offer financial assistance to sangha members who wish to participate in training programs or other activities designed to address racial conditioning, implicit bias, and racial inequality.
The goal of this scholarship initiative is to help individuals and the community deepen their understanding of how unexamined views of race can limit the mind and human systems.
A General Scholarship Fund for this purpose exists through donations from the TIMC General Fund and the generosity of several Triangle Insight members.
This Scholarship Fund has helped offset registration fees for some Sangha members who attended the Organizing Against Racism NC anti-racism training program.
It has supported the participation of TI members in a 3-day Mindful of Race workshop with Ruth King.
White Awakeis another organization that holds ongoing courses with a focus on anti-racism. They are currently conducting an online study group that has filled, and is now closed, but will be offering more online programs in the fall.
If sangha members would like to receive scholarship support for training with OARNC, White Awake, or other programs addressing racial injustice, please email the Board atboard@triangleinsight.org.
We invite the community to join this initiative by contributing specifically to this scholarship fund.
We are also interested in your suggestions for other training programs that might be of interest to sangha members, including training in climate-related problems.
To suggest other programs for support, please email the Board atboard@triangleinsight.org. This will put your suggestion directly in the Board's mailbox.

Southern Dharma Benefit Retreat The Thinning of Self: What It Means to Awaken with Rodney Smith
The thinning of ourselves begins when we decide to become more conscious by facing what is true and moving toward the difficult. As we become less defended there is more access to interconnection and true caring. We become less governed by self-concerns and more aligned with the heart. The two phases of this process include finding our true ground of sanity and releasing ourselves into the mystery of being. Each will be fully explored with dharma talks, guided meditations, dyads, Q & A, Chi Gong, and formal practice.
Please note that this at home retreat will begin at 9am Eastern Time on March 27th and end at 8pm Eastern Time on March 28th. All experience levels are welcome.
This program is being offered as a benefit to Southern Dharma Retreat Center and Rodney asks that all donations, including all teacher dana, be directed toward the Center. Thank you for your generosity.
For more information and/or to register, please click this link.
Having admirable people as friends, companions, and colleagues is actually the whole of the holy life.
- The Buddha
As Tara Brach states in The Winds of Love: Taking Refuge in Conscious Relationship, "Relationships can be place of healing and awakening, a sacred refuge. We can learn to share our truths, hold space for each other, and look behind the mask to see the one who longs to love and be loved. Sharing our own vulnerability and learning to see the inherent goodness in others are some of the most beautiful practices I know for waking up with each other."
Our Kalyana Mitta and Racial Affinity groups provide a special opportunity for this relational practice. As we deepen our connection to self and others, we see more clearly, our hearts soften, and we move from judgment and separation towards understanding and compassion. A wondrous aspect of this process is that as the heart of the dharma is enriched in our own lives, we are contributing to the spiritual journey of others. In this way, the third jewel of sangha illuminates the path that we travel together.
Known as RAGs, Racial Affinity groups allow people to deepen self-awareness around issues of race in small, racially homogeneous groups. As we face our long history of systemic racism and violence against people of color, RAGs provide a safe 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, and the acceptance we bring each other, as well as our shared understanding of the dharma, help us to heal and act more skillfully in the world. To support this process, groups follow Triangle Insight's Mindful Sharing Guidelines and Ruth King's Racial Affinity Group Guidelines.
If you are interested in joining a Racial Affinity group or would like more information, please contact Beth Lauderdale, our RAG Coordinator, at
marybethboswell@yahoo.com. As of January 2021, we have at least one group that is open to new members. Helpful articles and other resources are available on ourRacial Affinity Groups web page.
We currently have openings in two Kalyana Mitta (KM) Groups: Insight Dialogue and Raleigh. The Chapel Hill-Carrboro and Secular Dharma groups each have a waiting list. Details about each group are on our "List of KM Groups" web page. If you would like more information or want to join a group, be on a waiting list, or start a new group, please speak with Sarah Tillis, KM Coordinator, or write Sarah atsarah@triangleinsight.org. Information about the KM program is available on our KM web page.
***********************
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.

What it means to "go flat" in organizational planning
To bring our decision-making practices in harmony with our mission driven values for transparency, accountability and open-heartedness, the Board is building its own models for self-governance.
We would like to share with the Sangha this short article from The Guardian that sets forth key considerations we gradually are discovering over the last 18 months. We hope you will find it useful for understanding the Board's on-going deliberations.
Information about the Board may be found on the TIMC Board of Directors webpage, including Board members' names, contact information, meeting information, and relevant links.
Board meetings will be open to non-Board attendance, with scheduled time provided for specified presentations from Sangha members. If you have questions about Board procedure or have a topic for the Board to consider, please contact us at board@triangleinsight.org.

TIM PROGRAMS and COMMITTEES
The Shramadana Project
A Volunteer Initiative of Triangle Insight
NEW The Caring Circles Initiative is being revived, and is ready to receive requests for assistance from Sangha members. See above for information.
HISTORY
The Shramadana Project (SP) has been a volunteer initiative of the Triangle Insight Meditation Community to address some of the interests for connecting 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 "Programs Committee," yet to be formed. 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.
Ideas on how to organize these activities are welcome and should be sent to info@triangleinsight.com.
ARCHIVE
Past activities, meeting minutes and the list of community organizations for the SP are available on the SP webpage.

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.insightdialogue.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.

Adults meet for one hour for meditation and discussion, while the children learn about meditation and Buddhism in Sati School with our marvelous (non-parent-member) teachers.
If you are unfamiliar with this intentional group, here is the video from their website:
The Buddhist Meditation Community at Duke provides the opportunity for currently enrolled undergraduate and graduate students to learn about Buddhist teachings and practice meditation. Our Monday evening meetings include quiet meditation, group study and discussion, and we regularly host local Buddhist teachers from across traditions to share their teachings with the group. Morning meditation on weekdays is also available. We are a culturally diverse student group that welcomes the curious, beginners, experienced Buddhists, and those of other religions equally. We deeply value the role of friendship and community in supporting a thoughtful spiritual path of wisdom and compassion.
Open to Duke University Faculty, Staff, and Students
In addition to Triangle Insight, there are a variety of other meditation opportunities of which we would like for you to be aware. Rather than list them all here, we wanted to point you to the "links" section of our website atTriangle Insight. There are other sitting groups in the community whose practice is similar to ours, as well as resources for retreat centers and other websites, both locally and nationally. We do not offer an endorsement of these sites, but rather a suggestion for your exploration to see if any may have useful information to support your practice of insight meditation.

Men's Sharing Group
Now meeting on the Zoom platform
Start Time: 6:30-8:00PM
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.
Tamara Share will be offering an ongoing group for developing skills in mindfulness awareness practices. The group will meet twice monthly, and is open to those 18 years of age and older. A pre-group consultation is required, and you may contact Tamara at 919-442-1118. The cost is $45/session if pre-paid in 6 session blocks ($270), or $60 if paid per session (sliding scale available).
