RIM a modern, welcoming Dharma center grounded in traditional Buddhist wisdom. We offer meditation and mindful living practices in a safe and supportive community—to help one-another heal, grow, awaken, and live in ways that benefit yourself, those you love, and our shared world.
RIM is a diverse community where people from all walks of life come together to nurture our natural capacity for wisdom, compassion, well-being, and authentic happiness.
Through the timeless teachings of meditation, mindful living, and shared community support, we aspire to live in ways that uplift ourselves, benefit others, and care for our shared world.
We share the heart of Buddhist wisdom through Insight (Vipassana) practice—rooted in the Pāli Canon and enriched by the universal Dharma of all Buddhist traditions. Our teachings and practices are free from dogma, informed by modern science and lived experience, and offered in a spirit of generosity. Accessible to secular and spiritual seekers alike, they invite everyone to explore a more mindful, compassionate, and awakened way of life.

An intentional community provides connection, support, and friendship that can nourish us in a world where we may feel disconnected and unsupported.
Be with others who share an intention to awaken our innate human goodness through meditation and mindful living. Together, we learn and practice ways to reduce harm and nourish well-being within one another and our shared world.

RIM is inspired by the spirit of Dana, an ancient Pali language word that means generosity of heart, mind, and action. Dana promotes a healthier, selfless, caring, and grateful world.
Traditionally, Buddhist nuns and monks offer teachings in the spirit of generosity, while the community supports the teachers and the center to the level of their ability. In this same spirit, RIM and its teachers do not charge any fees or tuition and are supported by the community.
As an alternative to a pay-for-service economics model, RIM embraces a generosity-based model. The RIM community is a living gift made possible by the appreciation, goodwill, and generosity of the kind people inspired to give financial support, volunteer, teach, and support one another.
RIM is a 501(c3) non-profit organization.
