Rooted in the wisdom of Zen and inspired by the intimate neighborhood temples of Japan, our center is a sanctuary in the vibrant heart of New York City. We are a diverse tapestry of seekers, healers, and learners, united by a shared commitment to love wholeheartedly and serve with compassion.
This is more than a place of meditation; it’s a home where connection, learning, and service come alive. We're thrilled that you're visiting.
With gratitude,
Koshin Paley Ellison Sensei & Chodo Robert Campbell Sensei
