**Please note:
The New York Buddhist Church is beginning to plan how best to reopen its doors to religious and other activities. Although we are eager to welcome you back to the temple for in-person services, our foremost concern is the safety and wellbeing of our Sangha, community of friends and neighbors, and members of the general public.
We would like you to know that we are beginning the planning process for a limited, phased reopening and ask for your understanding and patience as we work through this process. New protocols will include the need to limit the numbers of people who will be able to enter the building, new sanitation and cleaning processes, ensuring appropriate social distancing, and other health and safety precautions. We will keep you informed about the progress of our planning and the expected schedule of a phased re-opening. For any emergencies, contact NYBC at (212) 678-0305.
