Smashnose Buddha

I know of no other single thing so conductive to misery as this uncultivated, untrained mind.

I know of no other single thing so conducive to well-being as this cultivated and well-trained mind.

—The Buddha


CIMC upper meditation hall

You will soon find that thoughts are like the wind; they come and go. The secret is to not ‘think’ about thoughts, but allow them to flow through the open mind.

—Soygal Rinpoche

We Are a Welcoming Community
The Cambridge Insight Meditation Center is dedicated to creating a space that welcomes all people regardless of cultural and religious background, race, socio-economic class, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, education, and physical ability.

As Guiding Teachers, we are committed to offering the essence of the Buddha's message of liberation and it is our intention to apply these teachings to every aspect of daily life. We recognize that for many people, everyday life means being subject to social injustice on a regular basis. As a community and institution, we are committed to the freedom — both inner and outer — of all beings. Hopefully, CIMC and the Buddha's teachings can contribute in a small way to the necessary changes that will facilitate social justice.

May we all cultivate wisdom and compassion and recognize the interdependence of all beings everywhere.
