Greetings
Insight Meditation of Ventura
Anchored in Theravada Buddhism, we are an inclusive community of dedicated practitioners
who have come together to support each other in integrating a full range of Buddhist
contemplative and meditative practices in our day-to-day lives.
All Are Welcome
Grounded in kindness and generosity, everything is freely given in gratitude to those who have kept the teachings
alive and available all these many centuries.
Dharma Talks
We offer
Dharma talks are held every Monday at 7:00
p.m. Beginners to advanced meditators are welcome. The atmosphere is casual
friendly, and free of ritual.
Each Dharma talk is preceded by thirty-minutes of meditation. Instruction is regularly
given on a range of meditation objects. These include mindfulness of the
breath, body sweeping, working with the four foundations of mindfulness, the
jhanas, the four Brahma Viharas, and Vipassana's choiceless awareness.
Dharma talks are followed by a brief reading from contemporary Buddhist literature and informal
discussion led by volunteer members of the group. We also take time to discuss
comments and questions about the personal meditation experience.
If you are brand new to meditation, please let us know you are coming. We will meet with you a few
minutes beforehand and provide preliminary instruction.
There is no charge for the Dharma talks. They are offered on a dana (donation) basis.
