We only need $200k to secure this beautiful monastery as the new home for Buddhist Insights. 

For the past three years, Buddhist Insights has offered over 100 free meditation retreats led by Buddhist monastics, at its donation-based retreat center in New York City. Now the lease of the retreat center is coming to an end, and it's time to move on. This gives us the opportunity to acquire this magnificent stone monastery as the new monastery and retreat center for Buddhist Insights! Located just outside of Newark, it is accessible by public transit from NYC in less than an hour. Immersed in several acres of lightly forested parkland, it offers a peaceful refuge which will house several monastic residents and host retreats of up to 50 people. 

To make this possible, we will need to reach our target amount by August 15th, 2019. 

Please consider supporting as best you can, both through your own direct contributions and by sharing the word as widely as possible. If we all come together to support this goal, we can make this place a refuge for generations to come - a place where the teachings of the Buddha are readily accessible to all who seek awakening. The address of this beautiful monastery is 29 Ridgeway Ave, West Orange - NJ www.buddhistinsights.com For more ways to donate (from overseas or via check, etc): www.buddhistinsights.com/donate May all beings be happy and secure!
