I am so happy that the Buddhist Center in Manhattan has a large new space and is now designated as a special center called a "Kadampa Meditation Center" or "KMC" for short. "KMC NYC" has a certain ring to it, don't you think?
Their previous location was full to capacity and then some; I heard that at times, they even had to turn people away. I visited once, and was amazed that new people were able to find them at all, because the center wasn't allowed to have a sign at street level.
They will have their official opening Oct 26-28.
More info and photos on their website and Facebook page, fb/kmc nyc.
In Eight Steps to Happiness Geshe-la says "'Self' and 'other' are relative terms, rather like 'this mountain' and 'that mountain ... 'This' and 'that' therefore depend upon our point of reference. This is also true of self and other. By climbing down the mountain of self, it is possible to ascend the mountain of other, and thereby cherish others as much as we presently cherish ourself."
