New York Zendo Shobo-Ji

New York Zendo Shobo-Ji, located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, is a prominent Rinzai zen practice facility founded in 1968 by Zen masters Soen Nakagawa Roshi and Eido Tai Shimano Roshi. Originally a converted garage, the temple offers a serene environment for daily zazen and chanting services, along with monthly all-day sits and weekend sesshin that include Dharma talks and practice interviews. The temple is part of the Zen Studies Society and is affiliated with Dai Bosatsu Zendo in upstate New York, making it a significant site for those interested in Zen Buddhism and meditation practices.
