The Portland Insight Meditation Community (PIMC) is dedicated to supporting the practice of Insight Meditation and the Eightfold Path of the Buddha. We welcome all interested in mindfulness and compassion. We are LBGTQAI welcoming. Black Lives Matter!
The Portland Insight Meditation Community is an experiment in American Buddhism. While we hold closely to the essential teachings of the Buddha, we are dedicated to evolving beyond the ritualism, sexism, hierarchy and other cultural artifacts that have characterized traditional religion. We welcome everyone: members of other faith traditions, male, female, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, single, partnered, all skin colors and ages.
PIMC is based upon the Noble Eightfold Path of the Buddha (view of facets). Its purpose is to improve the lives of participants, their families and the greater community through meditative practice and a lifestyle that supports liberation from suffering, the awakening of wisdom, and the manifestation of compassion.
The Portland Insight Meditation Community is a nonprofit, urban center for the practice of Insight Meditation. PIMC is a community where people come together to learn, support one another, and deepen their practice of the Eight-Fold Path of the Buddha. From the contemplative life at the heart of the community, wisdom and compassion naturally lead to a lively engagement with life in the world.
Happiness, peace of mind, love, compassion, patience, curiosity, mindfulness, and wisdom.
