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.
Wednesday Evening Program schedule
- 6:30 – 7:15: Evening Sit
- 7:15 – 7:30: Mindful Break
- 7:30 – 8:45: Dharma Talk
You are welcome to attend just the sit, just the talk, or both. Please note that the doors to the meditation hall will be closed at 6:35 for the Evening Sit and at 7:35 for the Dharma Talk. Upcoming Wednesday Evening programs are listed below.
