Join us for an evening with renowned Zen teacher, Jose Shinzan Palma, exploring what we mean when we say practice and cultivating patience and perseverance when things become difficult in our lives. The very purpose of cultivating mindfulness is to enable us to see the impermanent nature of things-their arising and passing away-directly in our own experience.
This leads to the liberating understanding that there really is nothing worth clinging to because everything will inevitably change. The relationship we have to ourselves inside has a direct correlation to how we show up in our outer relationships, work, and free time. Join Internal Family Systems therapist and author Ralph De La Rosa, LCSW for an immersive half-day of self-love meditation.

Services
NYI designates teachers based on their years and depth of personal practice and training as well as capability in: pedagogy; study of Buddhist texts, meditation practices and techniques; a working knowledge of our Buddhist lineage and history; and teaching and embodying the application of Dharma in daily life.
Generosity is a celebration. When we give something to someone we feel connected to them, and our commitment to the path of peace and awareness deepens. I continue to be a member of NYI, because I know that dana from all of our sits and sanghas, and the fees from all of our guest teacher programs and resident teachers series cannot meet the challenge of our increasing rent and other fixed costs.
Donations to New York Insight are tax deductible under IRS 170(f)(8). Should you have any questions regarding your contribution, please contact development@nyimc.org. NYI exists and continues to thrive because of generosity. We keep fees low and provide scholarships so that the teachings remain accessible to all; registration fees cover approximately 50% of our total costs.
New York Insight is an urban center for the practice of mindful awareness, called Insight or Vipassana meditation. NYI programs include talks, weekly sittings and courses as well as daylong and weekend retreats and workshops for the integration of meditation teachings into daily life. NYI strives to be a center that reflects the vivid diversity of the city in which we live.
MISSION: New York Insight Meditation Center (NYI) provides a welcoming, peaceful refuge for all people who wish to begin or deepen their journey on the path of mindful awareness known as Insight Meditation. NYI offers a rich variety of programs based on the liberation teachings of the Buddha and rooted in the Therevada tradition.

It was frustrating to go there for my first time, all the way from south Brooklyn, and find out that the address published in their websites is not the correct address. Apparently they move a few months ago.
(But what they don’t forget is to ask for donations in their sophisticated web pages).
Please go to Google and make the necessary corrections.

Actually very nice meditation center. They do teach courses from time to time, in addition to regular meditation and you can apply for scholarship to attend one, if you need it. You don't have to stay for lecture after meditation if you have plans- you can just quietly leave. People are very nice. I recommend it. Plan to meditate for 45 minutes. If you are late, just quietly sit down and join everyone.

An amazing experience.
I am new to NY and had been out spiritual shopping past few weeks to find a place to continue my meditation practices. I can gladly say I found this place. I had a wonderful experience last Sat attending the day of silence with Rosemary and Sandra who were fabulous. I loved their simplicity and depth in teaching. The place is very warm and friendly. People are very welcoming and their management is more service oriented than profit making oriented. I look forward to visit this place more frequently.

Very nice meditation space in the insight tradition. Most of the Dhamma talks are what I would call "Buddhist Light" so nothing to intimidate you here. Very welcoming place and all levels are welcome. If your practice is more traditional and not as secular as the Insight program you might want to consider one of the many other places in NYC, but this is a very welcoming place so the choice is yours.
