We conclude the program by 11:15 am. Mission: To practice and present the Buddha's teaching as they are found in the discourses of the Pali Canon. We ask that our common interest in the Buddha's teaching be given priority during group discussion.

	Center For Buddhist Development Jefferson City MO relax@vai		Vipassana Buddhist Church is permanently closed. If that's wrong, you can suggest an edit.The mission of the VBC/CBD is to make the original teachings of the Buddha available throughout mid-Missouri. Vipassana Buddhist Church is unique in the central Missouri area in that we are the only Buddhist organization that provides services and ceremonies in many different traditions. Reverend Dhammaruchi was ordained in the Order of Buddhist Ministers in 1997 by his primary teacher Venerable Bhante Chao Chu, and Venerable Havanpola Ratnasara Nayaka Thero, along with other monks of the of the Buddhist Sangha Council of Southern California. Because his primary teacher is from the Theravada school, VBC-Jefferson City is centered in that school; however, all Buddhist teachings are accepted and often incorporated into our practice.
