Terms and Conditions for Distribution of Materials


We strive to follow the long tradition of giving Dharma teachings freely to all. You may make and/or distribute copies of any material available on this website, provided that:


  • For audio files, the name of the speaker is clearly identified;
  • For written works with an attributed author, the attribution is reproduced on the copy; and
  • This notice is included with all copies, thus extending the same rights of free access and distribution to all recipients.

IMC Library


The library is available during most of our events for borrowing books, tapes or DVDs. Please be conscientious about returning them to the Book Return box in a timely manner (within 4 weeks).


  • Book donations are welcome. We are accepting books on Buddhism and selected books from other spiritual traditions, as well as DVDs. Place them in the large Book Donation box in the library. Books that we do not accept will be taken to Book Buyers in Mountain View to receive book credits for the library.
  • Donating your Book Buyers Credits: If you have credits at Book Buyers that you wish to donate to IMC, please ask them to give credit to the Insight Meditation Center account.
