Our Mission
The mission of the Arizona International Buddhist Meditation Center is to teach the practical benefits of Buddhist meditation and the Dhamma. The Center is non-sectarian and open to people of all races, nationalities, ethnicities, and religions.
We offer instructional programs in meditation through regularly scheduled meditation, Dhamma talks, and special programs presented by visiting Buddhist monks whose experience and knowledge will help practitioners enrich their practice immensely. The Center can provide accommodation and a proper environment for mental relaxation and our library of Buddhist books will be available for the use of all practitioners.
Meditation, or Bhavana in the Buddha's language of Pali, means mental culture or development aimed at cleansing the mind of impurities and disturbances and cultivating the habits of concentration and mindfulness which leads eventually to the attainment of the highest wisdom through the realization of the Universal Truths of Sakyamuni Buddha's Teachings.
As the Center develops we also intend to add yoga studies as an additional tool for stress reduction.
