Buddhism & Mindfulness

May you be held in compassion, may you be safe and well, healed and protected, may your struggles, your suffering and your fears be eased, may you live with a compassionate and peaceful heart. |

The Buddhism and Mindfulness program at All Souls NYC offers a variety of classes and groups to learn about and practice meditation.
"Buddhism and Unitarian Universalism value many of the same things, including experiential practice, study and self-inquiry, mindful awareness cultivation, insightful wisdom development, and loving-kindness, combined with active compassion in the world."
(Lama Surya Das, from the Forward of Buddhist Voices in Unitarian Universalism)

Meditation and Discussion
Mondays, 10-11:30am During this gathering, a talk and a guided meditation are followed by a discussion. The topics are different each week. Some examples of topics we’ve covered include the challenges we face in our meditation practice, how we can turn our regrets into healing and growth instead of guilt, and the Buddhist understanding of impermanence. |
Dharma Study Group
Alternating Tuesdays, 1-2:30pm This is a drop-in group - all are welcome to attend once or as many times as you like. No experience with Buddhism or meditation is required. We explore the basic teachings of Buddhism using both a philosophical and, more importantly, a practical, approach. |
Buddhist Authors
Thursdays, 10-11:30am In this program we focus on discussing books on Buddhist topics (e.g. When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chodron) - though it’s not necessary to read them to join us. Each session consists of a short meditation, a summary of a chapter, a video on a related topic, reflections from Harry Miller, followed by a discussion. |
