DHARMA IN DAILY LIFE

Join Narayan Helen Liebenson and the CIMC community for Dharma in Daily Life (online), 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.

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.

Narayan Helen Liebenson

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.

To support the growth of the Center with a third Guiding Teacher, Matthew Hepburn.
To make the offerings of the Center possible! A financial commitment will sustain our imprtant mission: to share the wisdom teachings of the Buddha for the benefit of all.
Your donation allows for a wide range of drop-in programs throughout the year including Dharma in Daily Life, freely offered every weekday morning.
Your generosity allows CIMC to offer unlimited scholarships so that financial circumstances are never a barrier to accessing the teachings of the Buddha. Just this year, we offered more than $70,000 in scholarships, benefiting hundreds of people.
To support our steadfast commitment to the Dharma by ensuring a robust schedule of retreats, workshops and practice groups that allow for connection to community at the Center and on-line. This year we offered our first program taught in Spanish.
