Request from two Bangladeshi monks to visit NYC centers

[Nick G]

Hi Buddhist Council Community, 

Our center recently received a request from two Bangladeshi monks to stay for a number of days and learn about our practice. Due to the current resident situation and practice schedule, and our usual lack of private space, we are unable to meet the request. But, I thought that perhaps another Buddhist Council-affiliated center might have the space, resources and ability to house these monks. Please look over the email copied below, and consider whether your center would be able to invite them for any amount of time. I believe they are currently in New Jersey, and could come into town soon. You can reply directly to the monks (karunajo...@yahoo.com), or to me if needed. 

Thanks, 

Nick Gershberg
