This was my First time visiting and I loved how spacious the Mosque is, ample amount of parking and such friendly people .. I would have given this a 5 star but due to few issues I observed I feel it deserves 3 Star and I think the Mosque Board Members responsible for this ... We went on the last day of Ramadan, throughout my life, I have been to 100's of various mosque in USA to 3rd World Countries ... The Beautiful thing I have always seen during Ramadan are Water bottles and Dates - given out few minutes before the "OPENING OF FASTING" and unfortunately I had to look all over and go to the Basement to seek few Dates, Had I known this I would have gotten a whole BOX of DATES for Everyone ... I saw and observed people asking me for DATES as I walked towards my wife to bring her a date so she can break fast while I observed over 100+ people on the line to BUY FOOD from the Stand ... I offered to give half of my date and other half to keep for my wife and myself ... I understand the need for Mosque to make sure PEOPLE buy FOOD and WATER from VENDOR but its RAMADAN and WATER AND DATES SHOULD BE FREE ... NO QUESTIONS ASKED !!! I Love how ISLAM is so giving and when it comes to FEEDING THE HUNGRY it says we should not care weather the person is Muslim, Christian, Jew, Hindu, etc and Feed them at any cost ... Yet I saw OUR OWN MUSLIM BROTHERS AND SISTERS trying to find ways to BREAK FAST and unable to do so because the LINE to BUY FOOD and WATER was tooo long :-(

This is real Buddhism - based on the Buddha's original teachings, as far as it's possible for us…read moredenizens of the 21st century to tell, and passed along by real Sri Lankan-born and -raised and -educated monks. Buddhism has undergone countless alterations in its travels over the course of its 2,600-year history; each successive culture it's come into contact with has imparted to Buddhism bits and pieces of its own pre-existing religious background, history, and cultural influence, to the point that two people who say the word "Buddhism" today can mean vastly different and even fundamentally opposite things (my last girlfriend and I found this out the hard way). Theravada Buddhism strives for purity: we adhere as closely as we know how to the words and teachings of Sakyamuni Buddha and his closest disciples, and don't admit in much else in our efforts to live by the heart and core of the original teachings. It's not an easy path to tread, and is not calculated to appeal to the sensibilities of the population at large. "The Buddha...reveals that the very things we identify with and hold to as the basis for happiness, rightly seen, are the basis for the suffering that we dread," writes Bhikkhu Bodhi, one of the most learned and highly-regarded scholar-monks we're fortunate to have among us today. The truth of this is a tough pill for most people acclimated to life in the modern world to look at, let alone swallow. The Theravada tradition is about striving to attain this right view, which is why Theravada is less popular today than Northern Buddhism (sometimes referred to as "Mahayana"), the school that encompasses such sects as Pure Land and Zen. While many Northern Buddhist teachings - at least as promulgated in the West - seem to essentially allow the practitioner to go on with their lives as before, living them more mindfully but with their fundamental worldviews largely unchanged, Theravada challenges the practitioner to see the world, the universe, all existence, and most importantly, themselves, in an entirely different way; it requires a complete reworking of one's concept of what is and is not real and of value, the result of which - and indeed, the *intended* result of which - is an alienation from the world as we saw it before. This is deep and difficult work (and can be lonely too, because of that alienation factor: to really get into Theravada is to swim against the stream you've been a part of and have probably taken for granted as constituting reality all your life), and it involves a lot more introspection and intellectual activity than most people are inclined to engage in...with the result that many less-demanding forms of Buddhism have subsequently arisen to allow the masses to feel like they're riding on the same oxcart when in fact their carts are built from pieces and parts produced all over the globe, the origins of only some of which can actually be traced back to the Buddha's teachings. (And I don't mean to convey that if it can't be traced back to the Buddha himself and his immediate disciples, it's of no value by definition - that's just not true (I can be too hard-line sometimes). It just bothers me that there are people out there - and there are whole schools of them - who call themselves Buddhists while openly scoffing at the Buddha's teachings, putting words in his mouth by making up new "discourses of the Buddha" to make it look like he taught what *they* think, and engaging in stunning and bewildering displays of logical acrobatics in their attempts to twist around what he actually did say to make themselves and others believe that he meant...the exact opposite of what he meant. It can be simultaneously hilarious and heartbreaking to see.) What we study and discuss at the Long Island Buddhist Meditation Center is the real deal: the Buddha's teachings (and subsequent valid illuminations thereof), pure and simple - though not always easy. If this sounds like your kind of Buddhism, come join us! You'll be very welcome.

This is a kind, engaged, intelligent sangha. A typical evening begins with chanting, followed by…read moreloving kindness mediation, followed by breath meditation. Then a book of scriptures is passed around, and each person reads a few paragraphs. The monks then enterntain questions concerning the readings. The monks are knowledgeable and authoratative, so you can be assured that their answers and explanations are well grounded. The Q & A is in lieu of a dhamma talk and, in many ways, I feel it's a better way of ensuring that those present understand buddhist thought. Chanting ends the session. Then there is socializing in the dining room as someone usually brings food. The sangha is an especially friendly and open group. You will feel welcome. The house is right next to the railroad track in Port Jeff... so expect a train to go by! Leave your shoes by the door.
