MISSION AND VISION
IMCR Mission
IMCR is a community united by the Buddha, the Dhamma, his teachings, and the Sangha, the community of spiritual companions. At IMCR, we are dedicated to providing a sanctuary for all individuals on their spiritual journey, fostering freedom of heart and mind through the timeless teachings of Theravada Buddhism and Vipassana Insight Meditation (Mindfulness Meditation).
IMCR Vision
The Buddha, the Dhamma and the Sangha provide a refuge, where practitioners can find sanctuary from the increasingly complex challenges of the world, and embark on their personal spiritual journey delving into the profound wisdom of Buddhism.
Our vision is to empower every seeker to discover inner peace, gain profound clarity, and experience the liberating teachings of the Buddha. Rooted in ethical conduct, generosity, concentration and profound wisdom, our practices not only nurture self-awareness and compassion but also radiate greater peace and happiness throughout the world
