Introduction to Meditation this Sunday in NYC

All-

I subscribe to the Village Zendo email/announcement list and wanted to pass this on:

Dear friends,
Meditate NYC is this Sunday! The event is Nov 8, from 3 - 7 PM at the Judson Memorial Church on Washington Square Park. It's an afternoon buffet of Buddhist speakers presenting the awesome variety of views and methods in Buddhism. This is the third year that the New York Buddhist Council (of which the Village Zendo is a member sangha) has produced the event. Roshi will be an MC and a speaker, and Koshin will talk about the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care.
If you're looking for a way to introduce your friends to Buddhism, this is your best chance all year: Invite your friends to come explore the teachings and meet members of many sanghas.
The event is free, and you don't have to stay for the whole time; please come and go whenever you like.
We want to share this event with as many people as possible. Please help us -- if you know anyone who is ripe for meditation, who is interested in mindfulness but doesn't have a community or a teacher to practice with -- please invite them to Meditate NYC!
