New York Zendo Shobo-Ji, Buddhist meditation center in Upper East Side, Manhattan, United States.
The temple offers daily zazen sessions and chanting services in a renovated carriage house at 223 East 67th Street between Second and Third Avenues.
Founded in September 1968 by Zen masters Soen Nakagawa Roshi and Eido Tai Shimano Roshi, this temple marked the establishment of Rinzai Zen practice in Manhattan.
The center maintains traditional Buddhist practices through regular meditation sessions, dharma teachings, and monthly all-day sitting sessions for spiritual development.
Morning meditation sessions occur from 6:45 to 7:45 AM on weekdays, while evening sessions take place from 7:00 to 9:00 PM Monday through Wednesday.
The temple provides individual practice interviews called dokusan, where students receive direct guidance from Zen teachers in their spiritual journey.
