Synopsis

Buddhism in New York is as exciting and diverse as the city itself, but can be just as overwhelming for those new to the practice. What's a good temple or practice center to try for your first visit?

* General etiquette for visiting temples
* Practice centers in all five boroughs, New York State, New Jersey, and Connecticut
* Tibetan stores and restaurants
