WE WELCOME OUR NEWEST 108 MEMBERS!
Chodo and Koshin have created a beautiful space of learning and community around the Zen teachings. I'm inspired and proud to support NYZCCC's mission to spread mindfulness and compassion.
Carolyn Gregoire
The Zen center gives me room and space to practice with a community in an authentic, open and inviting environment.
After two years of caring for an aging relative, I became very interested in end of life care. Foundations in Buddhist Contemplative Care lead me to the Center and the beginning of a new and special journey for me.
Supported by our Buddhist teachers, Koshin and Chodo, I ventured forward into new territory. Upon completion, I continued Buddhist studies and became part of a Sangha of like minded people who understand the need for change and how we care for each other.
I am grateful to the new understanding and
happy to share in support of these ideals.
