	Long Island Zen Center An organization of practitioners of engaged Buddhism dedicated to bringing spirituality into everyday life through the teachings of the Buddha to benefit members of our community (Sangha) and the broader community of Long Island. In Zen Buddhism practice is essential. What you learn in Buddhism must be your own experience. It cannot be learned by reading or thinking. You must get beyond your personal self. What self then appears? You must find out. Who is then the one who finds out? Only by dissolving the self can a new self come into being who finds this out.

	Buddhist Society for Compassionate Wisdom (BSCW) Buddhist Society for Compassionate Wisdom (BSCW) is a North American Buddhist Order. The Society was founded in the summer of 1967 as the Zen Lotus Society by Venerable Samu Sunim at his flat in Manhattan, New York City. (See Stories) In 1990 the name of the Society was changed from Zen Lotus Society to Buddhist Society for Compassionate Wisdom. The change of name reflected an important development in the movement of the Society. The experience of more than twenty years of Son-Zen Lotus Society paved the way for making the necessary transition from Asian forms of monastic Buddhism to salvation and enlightenment for all. On the surface this transition was the modern-day renewal and reapplication of the five major pronouncement of Mahayana teachings: 1. All sentient beings are Buddhas 2. Samsara is Nirvana 3. One's passions are enlightenment 4. We are an interrelated whole 5. Everyday life is the way Buddhist Society for Compassionate Wisdom (BSCW) www.zenbuddhisttemple.org

	Vajravarahi Buddhist Meditation Center Kadampa Buddhism and Meditation on the East End of Long Island Kadampa Buddhism is a Mahayana Buddhist school founded by the great Indian Buddhist Master Atisha (AD 982-1054). The main practice of a Mahayana Buddhist is to reduce selfish intention to benefit others. Attisha's followers are known as 'Kadampas'. 'Ka' means 'word' and refers directly to Buddha's teachings, and 'dam' refers to Atisha's special compilations and condensation of Buddha's Lamrim instructions known as 'the stages of the path to enlightenment'.The Kadampa tradition was later made widely known in Tibet by Je Tsongkhapa and his followers, who came to be known as the 'New Kadampas'. By integrating our knowledge and understanding of Buddha's teachings into our everyday lives, and thus 'transforming' our daily activities into our spiritual path, Kadampa Buddhists use Buddha's Lamrim teachings as practical methods for transforming daily activities into the path to freedom and enlightenment.?
