We lead our daily lives detached from nature, continuously boxed-in by our homes, cars, and for so many of us, our office or corporate buildings separated from the earth by concrete and asphalt.  Touching Earth Programs are meant to rekindle that intimate connection with nature, putting us back in touch with its beauty and wonder through outdoor activities.  A nature walk, a hike, a camping or a rafting trip, or simply some time spent on the beach listening to the soothing sounds of the waves, can give you a great emotional lift and may just be the healing you need. Join us for any of our ventures into nature’s embrace where everything can be a lesson, and each lesson extends far out into our daily living.

The Thousand Hands Outreach is an expression of altruism  and an integral part of Zen Buddhist tradition.  Our Outreach programs offer an opportunity to put into practice the compassionate teaching of Buddha and apply them to where they matter most, daily life.

​

Buddhists and non-Buddhists are all welcome to attend!

​

A traditional Korean-style Buddhist chanting and bowing practice. Concludes with a Zen Buddhist teaching ( in English ). Followed by a light brunch at our Buddhist Temple in Middlesex, NJ.

​

Chanting and bowing are both a Buddhist practice and a mindfulness meditation exercise. All are welcome to attend, whether as a Buddhist practitioner or as a cultural observer. We are a Buddhist Temple but also offer secular programs to help anyone improve their physiological, psychological and spiritual well-being.

​

Sunday Buddhist Prayer Service is an integral part of our Buddhist practice and can also be beneficial as a mindfulness practice for all people. 

​

You are welcome to come early to familiarize yourself with our place, get a tour, and settle in, perhaps over a cup of tea or coffee.
