In the presence of much confusion and grief, where anger and hurt rise high in our world, Triangle Insight offers thoughts from two people whose lives can be guideposts. May we reflect, observe, reflect again and act.
_____________
"Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced."
"The great force of history comes from the fact that we carry it within us, are unconsciously controlled by it in many ways, and history is literally present in all that we do."
"History is not the past. It is the present.
We carry our history with us. We are our history."
____________________________
"Anger is traditionally thought to be close to wisdom. When not projected outward onto others or inward toward the self, it gives us the necessary energy and clarity to understand what needs to be done."

In this time of continuing uncertainty, Triangle Insight is committed to offering a safe and stable refuge for the Sangha as a whole.
Until we are able to meet again at the Episcopal Center, Triangle Insight will use
Zoom for meditation meetings and for study or social group activities. Please refer to the Zoom information below.
This new way to connect is evolving through practice and compassion as we look inward and outward for the clarity that vipassana practice will bring.

Some additional information about our
Zoom Sangha Meeting Wed., June 3rd: |
The senseless and horrific death of George Floyd, combined with the unfolding events across our nation over the past week, have been difficult to witness let alone fully process. Already reeling from over 100,000 pandemic deaths, soaring unemployment, and the recent fatal shootings of Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery, we may find our thoughts and emotions spanning the entirety of the human continuum. All of these experiences are welcome this Wednesday, along with any sources of inspiration that you have found to be helpful.
One source of our collective healing can be found in bearing witness with one another to our shared pain as we attempt to discern the myriad causes and conditions that have come together to create such chaos in our world.
Our Zoom gathering this Wednesday evening will be devoted to this ongoing process of healing as we explore our collective wisdom and compassion that resides both within us and around us. In addition to meditation and exploration of the Dharma, the schedule will be adjusted to give ample time for sharing among the sangha (note links below to the Metta offerings that you may review prior to our gathering):
6:20 - 6:30: Gathering online and greetings
7:00 - 7:20: Dharma Talk
We hope you will be able to join us this Wednesday and that we may find some solace and refuge during these challenging times. If you are not on the email list to receive these notifications for the Wednesday meetings you may access the form to sign up
here.
May all beings receive the respect they deserve,
May all beings be safe from inner and outer harm,
May all beings heal from the wounds of the world,
May all beings be free.

Triangle Insight Welcomes You
Welcoming Committee News
|
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
- 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: [email protected] 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: [email protected].
With shared commitment to the dharma, we hope our work will be of benefit to all who join us in this practice.

Buddhists Help Get Out the Vote
The Triangle Insight Board wants you to be aware of an open letter that was penned by Buddhist leaders on May 13th encouraging Americans to vote in the upcoming elections, along with other steps that may be taken related to this effort. We fully endorse and wish to disseminate this message as much as possible.
Voting is one step of many we can take that will hopefully contribute to the realization of our shared intention "to create a new and more evolved normal, a world more just, kind, beautiful, tender, luminous, creative, whole."
An Open Letter to Buddhist Communities |
|
This is a truly critical time in American society. We are in the midst of a global pandemic, financial collapse, climate change emergency, and approaching a November election that threatens to exclude many eligible voters. As Buddhist teachers and leaders, we recognize that every vote and voice needs to be heard to help guide the next years of our society wisely.
A mutual caring community is one of the central teachings of the Buddha. In these times so marked by divisiveness and a lack of compassionate leadership, many of you have wondered how you and your whole community can help move us in this direction. Here are two crucial activities to encourage for everyone in your community:
❖ Register to vote; and sign up for an absentee ballot: You and your community can do this through Vote.org. Over thirty states now have no-excuse absentee voting, and many others are considering allowing COVID-19 as a valid excuse.
❖ Get your friends and family to register, sign up for an absentee ballot, and vote.
FOR MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO ACT in Voter Registration and Support, please read the full CALL with the names of 100+ Buddhist leaders, published in full on Tara Brach's website.

Caring Circles
A Sangha Support Initiative
|
To keep the Sangha connected and strengthen the bonds of our shared practice, several years ago Triangle Insight created a mechanism for the exchange of services called Caring Circles. Although we have not often used this initiative of the currently inactive Shramadana Project, the time has come to revive it to our mutual benefit in the face of coping with COVID-19 uncertainties.
Now, as then, its goal is to offer a simple means for members of the Triangle Insight community to request aid for everyday concerns from a roster of other members who wish to volunteer their assistance as a form of dana service.
Assistance can take as many forms as there is need, such as:
- Grocery shopping or prepared meals
- Laundry help, if no machine available
- Help with transportation to grocery store
- Pick up Rx or other items
- Connect by telephone, Zoom or another safe means to talk, listen, and just share time
- Computer fixes that may be done remotely
- Lawn care that may be needed
- Supplement toys or other diversions for children.
When the sangha returns to the Episcopal Center, you will still be able to email requests. You also can put your request in a box on the bookshelf (back hallway), or hand it to either coordinator.
To volunteer as a Caring Circles helper, please contact a coordinator at
[email protected] for more details.
Responding to a Request
Upon receiving a request, a coordinator will verify the information with you if necessary, then send it to the list of Sangha member volunteers. Anyone on the list may contact you to discuss your request. Specific plans are entirely up to you.
Please note in your initial communication if the request is of a sensitive nature; the coordinator will make special arrangements with you.
Caring Circles coordinators welcome your requests.

TIM SPIRITUAL FRIENDS GROUPS
|
Having admirable people as friends, companions, and colleagues is actually th
e whole of the holy life.
- The Buddha
We're in a time of great sadness, fear, and isolation, a time that cries out for compassion. As Narayan Helen Liebenson says in
The Magnanimous Heart
, "Compassion asks us to become very still. In this stillness, we listen deeply to ourselves and one another....Deep listening in and of itself can be deeply healing and transformative....It is a tender sensing into, attuning ourselves with sensitivity to pain and to sorrow."
Our Kalyana Mitta and Racial Affinity groups provide a special opportunity to offer and receive this deep listening and attunement. As we experience the trust and care of the group, resistance, reactivity, and separation are reduced, our hearts soften, and we open to greater 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 care and spiritual journey of others. In this way, the third jewel of sangha illuminates the sacred path we travel together
Please read the following sections to learn more about current activities of the Kalyana Mitta and Racial Affinity groups.

About
Racial Affinity groups
Affectionately known as RAGs, Racial Affinity groups 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.
______________
In our present moment, as we once again face the horror and pain of violence against people of color, many white people are wondering how to help ease the suffering and heal these very deep wounds. Ruth King has offered one path by sharing a section from her book, Mindful of Race. You can read this section on her website.
______________
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.

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
[email protected].
ARCHIVE
Past activities, meeting minutes and the list of community organizations for the SP are available on the
SP webpage.

Sitting Together: A Family-Centered Curriculum on Mindfulness, Meditation, and Buddhist Teachings,
by Sumi Lundon Kim
- Information about this three-volume book set for Mindful Families may be found at this website: www.mindfulfamilies.net.
|
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.

Now using Zoom platform

New Start Time: 6:30-8:00PM

MEN regardless of their tradition or path, or affiliation with the Triangle Insight Meditation Community. Our intention is to hear each other's interests, c
oncerns, 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.
