The primary purpose of the TCMC is the promotion, support, and teaching of insight/mindfulness meditation (Vipassana in the Pali language) and its practical application to the experience of daily life.

The TCMC is not affiliated with any religion and will not authorize anyone to teach any religious doctrine on behalf of TCMC.

The TCMC recognizes that insight/mindfulness meditation techniques can be found in various forms in most of the world’s religions and TCMC will continue to provide its members with access to the meditative aspects of a variety of spiritual and religious doctrines and traditions through:
1.    Materials in the TCMC library;
2.    Notices of community events;
3.    Notices of member-organized discussion groups; and
4.    The sponsoring of retreats and talks with nationally recognized teachers of meditation to the extent TCMC members show support for such teachers.
