NIMC offers classes, retreats, talks, sittings, special programs and social activities to members and non-members. It is concerned with the development of community, based in a practice of mindfulness. DIRECTIONS: From I-95, take Exit 57. Proceed on Route 113 (High St.) toward Newbury for four miles until you see the Common on the right. At the light, turn left onto Rolfe's Lane. Turn into the first driveway on the left. Welcome! CLASSES ~~~~~~~ DANA ~~~~ In the practice of Insight Meditation, DANA -- generosity -- is the feeling that arises out of gratitude when one directly experiences the sacredness of the teachings. Dana has been maintained as a tradition over the 2,500 years of Buddha Dhamma. Honoring this tradition -- which regards the teaching as priceless -- those who transmit them do so freely, and are dependent upon Dana from others for their livelihood. NIMC membership and course fees reflect the concern within the Insight Meditation community to keep fees to the minimum necessary to cover the operating needs of the centers. Teachers' financial support comes solely through Dana. BIOGRAPHIES ~~~~~~~~~~~ Daeja Napier, the founding teacher of NIMC and of the Insight Meditation Program at Phillips Exeter Academy, has been studying and practicing Buddhist meditation for over 20 years and is the mother of five children. * * * Updated: 17 Apr 95 Expires: ??
