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.
Please see below which dates will be hybrid (in person and online) 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. Thank you for your generosity.
Upcoming talk:
-
