Chan Meditation Center

This temple is my favorite place in New York City. They have great classes, Dharma talks, meditation sessions, and Chinese Buddhism rituals. The Fashi and volunteers are so welcoming and professional. I especially love their Saturday morning (9am-12pm) sitting meditation session. It’s a great way to help me relax after a busy week of work. Check out their website, they also have sessional classes and activities!!

Wonderful sangha. Great place to learn meditation, mindfulness, and hear dharma talks.

My family and I have been to this place, and that this place is only a temporary one until the new bigger building is built at the former site.

I went to a Saturday meditation session a couple weeks ago. I went there an hour late, the workers there were very friendly and welcoming. The mats and the towels were provided. I regret that I couldn’t stay longer.

Really welcoming Sangha and a great place to begin to learn and continue learning Chan meditation practice. They have a lot of fantastic workshop events that take place as well such as Zentangle, Move and Mind, and Music and Mind. Many programs in both English and Chinese, all of the monastics and volunteers are extremely helpful with any questions you might have.
