The CIMC Dharma Center will be closed for the month of December.

Dear Sangha,

In attending to the rhythms of the dharma, we remember that all things arise and pass, and that periods of activity are naturally followed by periods of stillness. Just as the body requires rest, the heart of a community requires moments of pause to restore clarity and ease.

With this understanding, we wish to share that our dharma center will be entering a time of rest and will be closed for the month of December. This period of quietude will allow those who have carried the responsibilities of practice, teaching, and care to replenish their energy and return with renewed steadiness.

We offer this decision with deep appreciation for each of you. Your presence and your practice have shaped these early months in ways that continue to nourish the whole sangha. We trust that this time of rest will support the long-term well-being of our community and the integrity of the teachings we aspire to uphold.

We will share updates as the time to reopen approaches. Until then, may this period be one of renewal for all of us, grounded in the wisdom that cares for body, mind, and community alike.

With gratitude and blessings,

The CIMC Team

A good reminder from Sayadaw U Tejaniya:
"If you think that you are watching the same thing over and over again, you will become bored. However, if you take a closer look at your experience, you'll understand that no two moments feel exactly the same."
