Handing Down the Stories of our Lineage Holders
IMS has teamed up with the Canadian Prairie Sangha to safeguard the tales of our ancestral teachers.
A select few have the privilege of hearing first-hand accounts from the Asian Buddhist meditation masters who trained the teachers who now teach insight meditation in North America.
To preserve these stories, IMS Online and five Canadian Prairie sanghas have put together an online series called Lineage Stories which will feature the original teachers of early Buddhism who taught many of our senior teachers.
Veteran teachers in the insight tradition will share their recollections of the teachers they studied with in Asia as part of a series of programs beginning on October 12. Joseph Goldstein and Sharon Salzberg, co-founders of IMS, will kick off the series by talking about Munindraji, Dipa Ma, Mahasi Sayadaw, and other influential figures.
