Welcome to

Portland Insight

Meditation Community

Based in Portland, Oregon, the Portland Insight Meditation Community is an experiment in American Buddhism.

 

We welcome all people of every age, ethnicity, cultural heritage, religious background, socio-economic group, ability, sexual orientation, and gender identity. The purpose of PIMC is to improve the lives of participants, their families, and the greater community through meditative practice and a lifestyle that supports liberation from suffering, the awakening of wisdom, and the manifestation of compassion.
