New York & New Jersey Meditation and Buddhism

Aro offers a variety of events and resources for learning meditation and Buddhism in New York and New Jersey.

You can find upcoming events on our event calendar. (In the Region box there, select ‘New York / New Jersey’.) See this page for what to expect.

We meet most Sunday mornings in Brooklyn for meditation practice, often with a brief teaching.

Shardröl Du-nyam Wangmo is our resident Lama. The area is also home to several other ordained Aro teachers.

Twice a year, we sponsor visits from the Aro Lineage Lama Ngak’chang Rinpoche, who gives talks and leads a weekend retreat at Bailey Farms in Westchester County.

We teach sKu-mNyé (Kum Nye), a system of meditative movement exercises, in New York and Brooklyn.

Our free email meditation course is a thorough, practical, gentle introduction to meditation, from the Dzogchen Tibetan Buddhist perspective.
