NYZ: Triratna In-Person Practice Day

May 23 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm

Join us for an in-person practice day as we come together in community for meditation, dharma teaching, and fellowship.

The theme for our gathering will be a celebration of Buddha Day!

Buddha Day, a celebration of the Buddha’s enlightenment, is one of the most important holidays to Buddhists. Join us for this opportunity to marvel at the gift the Buddha bestowed upon humanity as we gather in community to commemorate his legacy.

This year we will celebrate with a special emphasis on generosity, continuing our year-long theme of practicing with Ratnasambhava.

Join us at the New York Zendo (223 E 67th St, New York, NY 10065) for a morning of meditation, discussion, ritual, and connecting with community, followed by lunch at 1:15 p.m. @Le Botaniste UES, which serves 100% organic, plant-based food. You can find it at 833 Lexington Avenue (between 63rd & 64th St).

This event is OPEN TO ALL—all are welcome.
