DHARMA IN DAILY LIFE

Join Narayan Helen Liebenson and the CIMC community for Dharma in Daily Life (online), freely offered on weekdays from 8:45-9:00 am. A brief sit, Dharma reflections, and a “practice for the day” support you to live each day in a more connected, wise, generous, and loving way. Join here.

MONDAYS AT CIMC

Deepen your practice in community. Join MADELINE KLYNE at CIMC on Mondays for Tea-Time Dharma (4:00-5:30 pm) and Sitting & Sangha (6:00-7:15 pm). Both are drop-in programs and will meet on January 30 and February 6, 13, and 27. Please arrive on time as the doors will close ten minutes into the program. 

A Welcoming Community

The Cambridge Insight Meditation Center is dedicated to creating a space that welcomes all people regardless of cultural and religious background, race, socio-economic class, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, education, and physical ability. Financial support for our programs is available to all.

As Guiding Teachers, we are committed to offering the essence of the Buddha's message of liberation and it is our intention to apply these teachings to every aspect of daily life. We recognize that for many people, everyday life means being subject to social injustice on a regular basis. As a community and institution, we are committed to the freedom—both inner and outer—of all beings. Hopefully, CIMC and the Buddha's teachings can contribute in a small way to the necessary changes that will facilitate social justice.

May we all cultivate wisdom and compassion and recognize the interdependence of all beings everywhere.
