2025, Asian Diaspora Community, Program

Sun. 10/26/2025: Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Sangha, 5:30-7:30pm

4th Sunday of each month | 5:30pm-7:30pm ET | In-Person and Online

Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street, 12th Floor

The NY Insight AAPI Sangha is a warm and vibrant space for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders to come together in shared practice and community, to foster a sense of connection, understanding, and authenticity. This sangha offers an opportunity for new and experienced practitioners to explore our inner and outer worlds in ways that honor our diverse backgrounds through the heart of the dhamma.

The AAPI Sangha meets on the fourth Sunday of each month from 5:30–7:30 PM. Led by NYI Teachers or Practice Leaders, each session includes meditation, a dharma discussion, and an opportunity to explore the dharma in a supportive community.

In-person attendance is highly encouraged, as meeting in the physical world helps foster connections that are vital for this community. That said, we understand that some may have circumstances that prevent in-person attendance, and we want to make this community accessible. Please see below for Zoom information.
