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 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: [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.

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 Awake is 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 at [email protected].
We invite the community to join this initiative by contributing specifically to this scholarship fund.

NC Voter Support: Local, Vocal, Social
Notes from a TI Sangha member*
1. Helping Everyone in N.C. Register to Vote
You can make a big impact on Voter Registration if you take just a few minutes to help yourself and others.
You Can Vote and Democracy NC are local organizations that provide easy digital tools for voter registration.
1. CHECK YOUR OWN REGISTRATION: is it up to date?
2. Send these links to 3 others, encouraging them to check their own registration.
3. Ask them to create a chain - send the links to 3 others, and to keep the ball rolling.
4. Know that you've had a significant impact on the November election.
|
2. Helping Everyone in N.C. Vote By Mail in 2020
Anyone who is registered to vote in NC can request an absentee ballot to be sent to you early in September for the November election.
- In 2020 ONLY, you do not need any reason to vote absentee
- If you request your ballot now, it will help the flow later AND you will get your ballot in plenty of time
Oct 27 is the DEADLINE to REQUEST an ABSENTEE BALLOT.
- REQUEST EARLY to avoid USPS delays and to avoid overwhelming your county BOE with requests in the last days.
TO REQUEST A BALLOT there is help online:
- If you have the right software, you can complete the -Request for absentee ballot Form- on your computer and email it to your County BOE (all county BOE addresses are on the Form). Or,
- You can print out the Form, write in the required information, and drop it off at your local BOE or send it via USPS.
Emails and addresses for every county BOE are included with the application.
After you request your ballot, consider sharing this information across the community.

TIM SPIRITUAL FRIENDS GROUPS
|
Having admirable people as friends, companions, and colleagues is actually the whole of the holy life.
- The Buddha
We live in a time of extraordinary challenges, and as many in our sangha have expressed, connecting in small groups can be especially valuable for our well-being and spiritual journey. Our Kalyana Mitta and Racial Affinity groups provide a special space for this relational practice and support.
As Norman Fischer says in Making Friends on the Buddhist Path, "That we and our friends can communicate intimately with one another and support each other unselfishly come what may-this truly is a masterpiece of Nature, and one of our brightest human achievements. It is also, I believe, our best hope in troubled times."
Fischer goes on to note that, "Emerson and the Buddha both believe that spiritual friendship requires two elements: truth and tenderness." These two elements are among the gifts of Kalyana Mitta and Racial Affinity Groups, gifts that open us to the generosity and love that can heal and awaken us all.
|
|
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. She can be reached at [email protected].
Helpful articles and other resources are available on our Racial Affinity Groups web page.
|
We currently have openings in two Kalyana Mitta (KM) Groups: Insight Dialogue and Raleigh. The Chapel Hill-Carrboro, Durham Young Adults, and Secular Dharma groups each have a waiting list. Details about each group are on the "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 at [email protected].
Information about the KM program is available on the 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.

Nurturing Mindfulness and Self-Care in the Time of COVID-19
With Jeff Brantley
|
This three-part program will aim to provide participants with knowledge and skills for discovering and experiencing possibilities for greater peace and stillness within, enhancing capacity for improved self-care, and responding more effectively to the stressful demands of living in the time of COVID-19, and beyond. The program is based upon experiencing mindfulness through direct practice, using several core practices from the MBSR program. By practicing mindfulness with teacher support in class, and through readings, audio recordings, and personal practice at home, participants will be better able to recognize and understand how practicing mindfulness can deepen awareness, nurture qualities of kindness, compassion, and wisdom, and build resilience. Strengthening each of these attributes in turn can better equip you to live more happily, and to meet the demands and stressors of life in today's world more effectively.

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.

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.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.

Men's Sharing Group
Now meeting on the Zoom platform
|
New 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.
2nd and 4th TUESDAYS, every month 6:30-8:00PM, now on ZOOM platform
