Greetings from the NYBC Sangha
The sangha members of the New York Buddhist Church welcome you to join us in hearing, learning and practicing the Buddha-Dharma.
The New York Buddhist Church (NYBC) is a temple of Jodoshinshu True Pure Land School Buddhism, whose head temple is Nishi-Hongwanji Temple in Kyoto, Japan. Shinran Shonin (1173-1262) is the founder of this school of Buddhism.
The NYBC has been serving the New York community since 1938, and was founded by Rev. Hozen Seki with the assistance of his wife, Satomi, and concerned lay people. They all wished to share the Buddha-Dharma in America's most populous city, which then had no center for Jodoshinshu Buddhism. Their wishes have flourished as today we continue to share the Buddha-Dharma here in New York.
May the Wisdom and Compassion of Amida Buddha touch your heart so that you may be awakened to the world of True Dharma with Nembutsu.

Japan Disaster Relief Collection
We have been deeply saddened and shaken by the tsunami and earthquake disaster in Japan. Our hearts and support go out to those who have had to endure the stresses of having to locate loved ones during this great natural disaster. We hope that you have been able to make connections with family and friends; but for those who have not had any news from them yet, we send best wishes for a positive resolution to your search.
New York Buddhist Church is collecting monetary donations for the disaster relief efforts in Japan. If you wish to make a contribution to this collection, please send funds payable to New York Buddhist Church to the attention of: NYBC Japan Disaster Relief at 331 Riverside Drive, New York 10025. You will be acknowledged for the donation. Contributions are also accepted by those attending services. We will be coordinating the collection with our headquarters in San Francisco, the Buddhist Churches of America.
Your generosity at this time - no matter what amount - is very much appreciated.
Best in gassho,
New York Buddhist Church
