Vermont Insight meditation Center offers two opportunities for meditation practice during the month. All are welcome, new students and experienced students alike. Instructions are given as requested by those attending. Teachers are available for questions following the session.
Sunday Sitting Group
The Sunday sitting group meets on the first and third Sundays of each month. It provides supportive instruction and teachings that illuminate the simple but very challenging practice of insight meditation and mindfulness practice, an ancient path taught by the Buddha. To walk this path of wisdom and compassion, we need the support of a community that shares this intention. Please join us. The group is appropriate for both beginning and experienced students. From 10am – 12 pm, Neighbor's Hall at Solar Hill
Taught by: Claire Stanley and Cheryl Wilfong and guest teachers.
Dharma talk: Nov 19th-Claire Stanley - Transforming the mind, one intention ar a time.
Weekly Sitting Groups

Dana
Within the Theravadin Buddhist tradition, generosity or Dana is practiced by making an offering to the teachers. For 2600 years, since the time of the Buddha, the teachings have been considered priceless and have been offered freely. The teachers offer the Dana or generosity of their teaching and they are supported through the Dana of the students and the community. Weekly or bi-monthly sitting groups are offered entirely on a Dana basis.
