IMC of Cape Cod Sangha Statements

 

 

 

General Opening: Welcoming & Diversity Statement:

The Insight Meditation Circle welcomes everyone with an interest in learning about the teachings of the Buddha on wisdom, compassion and mindfulness. All are welcome from beginners to those who wish to deepen their practice. We strive to reflect the diversity of the Cape in which we live, and our sangha is a place where everyone of different ages, cultures, ethnicities, sexual orientations, gender identities, and spiritual backgrounds is welcome. We acknowledge we are occupying land which was originally the ancestral home of the Nauset, Monomoy and Wampanoag indigenous people.


Closing Sharing of  Intention and Merit:
May we extend this mind throughout the whole universe so that together with all beings may know peace and joy, loving kindness, and the perfect wisdom of a Buddha.

Statement re: Vipassana or Insight Meditation 

Vipassana is a simple, yet profound meditation practice that has the ability to
transform how we experience the world. Through the cultivation of
moment to moment awareness, life is seen how it actually is, not how we
think it is, or want it to be. We discover that it is possible to have a more
harmonious relationship with ourselves & the world around us. This

understanding has a profound effect on our lives. It is the catalyst that
allows us to let go of the thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of
true happiness. The ease, the peace, of this state, is where our hearts
can begin to finally come to rest.
