Please invite your friends to Meditate NYC this Sunday
A Jesse Jiryu Davis
Meditate NYC is this Sunday! The event is Nov 8, from 3 - 7 PM at the
Judson Memorial Church on Washington Square Park.
Meditate NYC is an afternoon buffet of Buddhist speakers presenting
the awesome variety of views and methods in Buddhism.
*) If you're interested in Buddhism but you don't regularly talk with
a teacher or practice with a community, Meditate NYC is your one-stop
shop for hearing a dozen speakers and talking to members of Buddhist
communities all around the city.
*) If you're looking for a way to introduce your friends to Buddhism,
this is your best chance all year: Invite your friends to come
explore the teachings.
The event is free, and you don't have to stay for the whole time;
please come and go whenever you like.
We want to share this event with as many people as possible. Please
help us -- if you know anyone who is ripe for meditation, who is
interested in mindfulness but doesn't have a community or a teacher to
practice with -- please invite them to Meditate NYC!
