LOVING-KINDNESS

The Buddha taught metta (loving-kindness) as a specific antidote to fear and anger. It is an invaluable practice in the midst of the unexpected changes and challenges in life. Join NARAYAN HELEN LIEBENSON on May 9th for a half-day Metta Retreat. This is an opportunity for those new and experienced to learn and to deepen in their understanding of metta in the context of community.

WHAT IS FORGIVENESS?

Forgiveness cannot change our past, but it can fundamentally change our present. What is Forgiveness? with MADELINE KLYNE offers you the opportunity to learn and to deepen your understanding — and practice — of forgiveness. Let go of the pain, anger, guilt and resentment. Come explore what it means to forgive ourselves, to forgive others, to ask others to forgive us and to forgive difficult conditions that are present in our personal and collective lives. Thursday evenings, May 13th to June 17th.

NEW TO MEDITATION?

Way of Awareness: An Introduction to Insight Meditation offers a gradual and systematic introduction to the practice of Insight Meditation (Vipassana) and to the teachings of the Buddha that inform this practice. Emphasis is placed on the practices of sitting and walking meditation as well as developing mindfulness in daily life. Monday evenings starting May 17th, with ZEENAT POTIA.

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.

We have included CIMC in our legacy planning because we believe that the best thing we can do with our resources when we’re gone is to ensure that the organizations we care about, and the ones that have brought greatest value to our lives, continue to thrive. Our practices—strengthened and sustained in our daily lives through our engagement with CIMC—have greatly enhanced both of our lives. By making a legacy gift to CIMC we hope to help others to enjoy the same benefits in the future.
