1.Greetings All! Sorry about the delay but we have been having some
issues getting a room booked for the semester and unfortunetly we will
be without a room every few weeks or so. The meeting this Thursday
however is the first meeting of the semester and as such, we will
provide a brief overview of what activities and events we have planned
this semester. Since we do not have a room for this week, we will have a
discussion group instead of a regular meditation sitting. We look
forward to seeing you there!

2.The Buddhist Project is a series of currently
ongoing exhibits which feature the Buddhist 
spirit in contemporary art in addition to exploring 
the many and varied relationships of Buddhism 
and the arts in contemporary American culture. 
Exhibitions, public forums, installations and 
literary events are taking place in the all over 
the New York City area and will run through 
March 2004. For specific details go to:
