About this IMS Online Program

This program was recorded live on February 29 - March 21, 2024

In the “Discourse on Establishing Mindfulness” (the Satipatthana Sutta), which is one of the most widely studied teachings of the Buddha, he stresses the practice of mindfulness as the path to overcoming sorrow, lamentation, suffering, and grief. He then offers a step-by-step path to realizing the truth that will set us free. 

Throughout the Sutta series, we will explore narratives about and discourses by the Buddha, which have been passed down for over 2,500 years, and directly apply them to practice in our modern lives. 

This program is open to beginning and seasoned meditators alike. All are welcome. This program will include dharma teachings, meditation instructions, and opportunities for Q&R.
