Dear Friends of Vipassana Hawai'i and Hawai'i Insight Meditation Center,

The Tradition of Dana

The development of HIMC will depend on the generosity of committed supporters, philanthropic institutions and community organizations. The Buddha taught a path of spiritual awakening, a way of practice that we can use in our daily lives.

The organization of HIMC will draw upon the complementary strengths of its Board of Directors, administrators, teachers, staff and volunteers to govern, direct and operate the facilities and its programs.

One of the best ways we can nourish the lives our children is by helping them to discover their spiritual "roots" and "wings" -- the wisdom and compassion they have within that will come forth as skillful action in the world.

The main structures of the center are planned as followed:

• Meditation Hall of approximately 5,000 square feet to seat 100, with covered, paved terraces for walking meditation

  
  

HIMC has been consulting with an Islands-based design firm to develop plans for the construction of the Center.
