The Insight Meditation Center is a community-based, urban refuge for the teachings and practice of insight meditation, also known as mindfulness or vipassana meditation. We offer Buddhist teachings in clear, accessible and open-handed ways.
Guided by Gil Fronsdal and Andrea Fella, IMC offers a broad range of programs and community activities.
IMC does not require payment for any of our teachings, programs or events. The support of our teachers and center expenses is done through voluntary donations from the community. All the work in running and maintaining IMC and its programs is done by volunteers. We are inspired by how effectively mindfulness practice unfolds when it does so in a field of goodwill, generosity and gratitude.
You can support our work with a donation at www.insightmeditationcenter.org/donate/.
David enjoyed your refractions…tu espejo…I came to considering the use of balance as a way of speaking of the two wings of this great bird…Vipassana and Shamatha…What arose for me was the beautiful capacity to enjoy each of these however they arise…more or less on their own…Thank you for a lovely opening of the week…
Great talk Ying. This dichotomy of going against the stream of normal and entering the stream of the dharma, that which is natural-but not always easy. ❤
Loved this video. I find myself in the same situation with the political issues from both sides from friends and co workers. I remind myself that though Buddhism I find inner peace as so many Buddhist have done though history of wars and of genocide as Thich Nhat Hanh did. its important to find peace and stay neutral in situations that we have little control of.
