Event Description:
We spent 2026 dedicated to the Buddha Ratnasambhava. He is a golden Buddha who holds the wish-fulfilling jewel. On this practice day, we will explore the Perfection of Generosity by looking back over our year and looking forward to how our practice will continue to unfold.
This will be a morning of meditation, reflection, discussion, and ritual where we’ll explore these themes in community and friendship.
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).
