announcements Nov 27


1)      Replays of major services upon request
Currently, we have the Festival of Oneness, Saisho Ceremony at Yuon Center, Saito Homa (all of them the FULL version from Japan) as the services that practitioners can request to see at both the NY temple and the Shinnyo Center.  Please contact the temple office at either location to make an appointment.

2)      Service and event times at the Shinnyo Center
We are exploring the options of what works best for times for the evening events, both for the public (i.e. guided meditation and Shinnyo Meditation) as well as for the practitioners (services, Chiryu Gakuin lectures, GDM video viewings)
For this reason, you may have seen the times change in November and December; please let us know if you have any thoughts on the times.  We do plan to review them, and reassess the start times starting in the month of January.
Sorry for the inconvenience this may cause for the time being!

3)      Sesshin Training at the Shinnyo Center
We have started to introduce dates where we have Sesshin by Reservation.  In addition, we will be making private sesshins available at services whenever possible, including up to Kantei.  Please contact the temple/center or check our blog for updates.

SUN DEC 1 sesshin is available to KANTEI (no reservations necessary)


4)      Moving from the BLOG to a new WEBSITE
Some of you might have already seen and are using the site, but we have a webpage that has been made for the Shinnyo Center that will serve also as the place where practitioners can access the most updated schedules (for both the temple/center) as well as announcements previously seen on the blog.
