Thinking back to the opening of IMS, it was impossible to know of the exponential growth of interest in meditation that would take place over the next five decades. It has been immensely gratifying to see IMS at the forefront of this engagement with the Buddha’s teachings of generosity, compassion, and wisdom.

Looking ahead, we’re inspired to provide greater access for the many people who would like to benefit from these precious teachings.

Together, we can create a legacy that will last for generations, providing a refuge of peace in the midst of this ever-changing world.”
