CIMC’s weekly Dharma talks are now being offered online in our virtual meditation hall. If you arrive early, please preserve the silence until the teacher arrives.

Upcoming online talks:
- Vance Pryor, “Reflections on Virtue and Truthfulness”, Wednesday, August 5 from 6:30-8:45pm. Meditation practice from 6:30-7:15pm, followed by a talk and Q&A from 7:30-8:45pm.

On most Wednesday evenings throughout the year, a CIMC or visiting teacher offers a Dharma Talk. Registration is not required; this is a drop-in program. We invite attendees to offer financial support for our visiting teachers through the practice of dana (generosity). All are welcome regardless of ability to pay.
- Fee: $5-10, plus dana for teachers.
