Also, dear community: Chogyesa was first established in 1985, later moved out to Queens, and returned to Manhattan 22 years ago. Since then, it has been a home for Korean Buddhist tradition, meditation, food, and friendship here in New York City. This home, like any, needs care. From sharing meals to maintaining the space, it takes many hands and open hearts to sustain it. Though our temple building itself is more than 110 years old, our community has filled it with practice, culture, and connection — and we invite you to join in that practice.
Your contribution—whether a financial donation or a few hours of volunteer time—helps keep the temple alive for all who enter. Even $5 makes a difference, and larger gifts go further in spreading the Dharma, building positive karma, and bringing peace to a noisy world.
Together we can ensure this temple remains a welcoming refuge for generations to come.
