Timeless Buddhist Wisdom in Harlem

Buddha’s most profound insight into the nature of the mind remains as revolutionary in our modern world as it was over 2500 years ago: the mind is the source of all happiness and suffering. All of it. At the Harlem Branch Center, this is what we learn - in a very practical way. So that through meditation, we can cultivate authentic happiness, and actualize our greatest potential, and help others do the same. No previous experience necessary. Everyone of all ages, faiths, genders, colors, sizes, and cultures are welcome in our classes and retreats.

Wisdom quotes background

“Just as there is room in the sky for a thunderstorm, so there is room in the vast space of our mind for a few painful feelings; and just as a storm has no power to destroy the sky, so unpleasant feelings have no power to destroy our mind.”
