The New York Buddhist Church is a significant Buddhist place in New York City. It's at 331-332 Riverside Dr, New York, NY 10025. This temple follows the Jodo Shinshu school of Buddhism, also known as Shin Buddhism. "May the Wisdom and Compassion of Amida Buddha, which embraces us just as we are, touch your heart so that you may be awakened to the world of Living With Nembutsu," guided by the teachings of Shinran Shonin (1173-1262). It was created to be a place for people in New York City who follow these teachings.
The New York Buddhist Church aims to share Buddhism's teachings and promote Buddhist education, cultural activities, and community well-being. The temple does various things, like having regular chanting services and talking about Buddhist teachings. They also offer classes for adults and kids about Buddhism and meditation.
The temple is big on cultural events, celebrating traditional Japanese and Buddhist festivals. They're also very active in helping the community through service and working with other groups for peace and social welfare. Regardless of background, anyone can join the New York Buddhist Church.
Your donations are much appreciated at any time. However, being a committed member is especially helpful because it provides ongoing support for the temple. This support helps cover the costs of running the temple and achieving its goals. While everyone is welcome to attend our services, you need to be a member to take part in special events like the Kieshiki (Buddhist name-giving confirmation ceremony), receive scholarship awards, and vote in annual meetings. Also, the amount of your membership fees supports our national organization, the Buddhist Churches of America (BCA).
