Wednesday Evening Dharma is now being offered either hybrid (in person and online) or online-only. Please see below which dates will be hybrid and which will be online-only. If you arrive early, please preserve the silence until the teacher arrives.
Donate here to support our online programs. Your support of CIMC is deeply meaningful in this unprecedented time. Thank you for your generosity.
Upcoming talk:
- Tuere Sala — “The Importance of Cultivating Right Intention”. Wednesday, March 22 from 6:30-8:45. This program will be online-only.
- “Intention is present in every experience, response or action. Cultivating Right Intention in the context of contemporary society can often seem self-indulgent. The constant demands of being a householder can also over shadow intention and make it harder to recognize the expectations, assumptions, desires, beliefs, and/or energy (in other words- the intentions) behind our actions. Intention is part of the unconditional and thus, a necessary aspect of awakening.” —Tuere Sala

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.
