The International Meditation Society is an international religious society that focuses on cultivating loving-kindness for other sentient beings as well as for yourself. It rewards a pacifistic gameplay and provides bonuses for religious and diplomatic victories. Unlike the other societies, the IMS gains 2 additional promotions in each era throughout the entire game.
Ancient Era
In the Ancient era, choosing the IMS unlocks the Breath Meditation Teaching, the first promotion for the IMS, which grants you +1 amenity and +1 Great Prophet, +1 Great Artist, and +1 Great Musician point within 5 tiles of your cities.
Medieval Era
In the Medieval Era, you gain access to two promotions. The first promotion, Loving Kindness Meditation, grants you a free Meditation Teacher unique unit, a replacement for the Medic and the Guru. This unique unit has unlimited charges and can provide healing for all adjacent military/religious units. It can also heal units of other civilizations that are Friendly, Declared Friend, or Allied to you.
The second promotion of the Medieval Era, Insight Meditation, does not hide tiles that have been revealed by your units when they leave the area. They also reveal strategic resources that would otherwise not be revealed without the requisite technologies.
Industrial Era
In the Industrial Era, you gain access to two new promotions. The first promotion, Workplace Mindfulness, grants Missionaries, Apostles, and Gurus access to the Workplace Meditation ability, which allows them to speed up construction of new districts, wonders, and improvements.
The second promotion of the Industrial Era, Body Scan, provides you with another Meditation Teacher. Meditation teachers can now build Meditation Centres, which provide additional amenities, culture, production and faith for all natural features within 5 tiles of meditation centres. Each city may only possess one Meditation Centre.
Atomic Era
Once you reach the Atomic Era, you gain access to the last two promotions of the IMS. The first is Mindful Communication. Civilisations that share the same religion as you who declare war on you will receive +50% war weariness, permanently lose one amenity, and a 20% strength reduction in all units when fighting against you. Civilisations that share the same religion who are allied with you gain additional yields from their alliances.
You also gain access to the A Mindful Life promotion, which grants you a free Meditation Teacher unit. You now have access to the unique International Mindfulness Day project, which triggers a Culture Bomb once completed.
