What we’re about
Welcome to Dharma Drink!
A great way to get Dharma connected in New York!
- Connect people to people
- Connect pople to Buddhist centers
We are doing both IN-PERSON and VIRTUAL events. Please check the meetup schedules.
- - - - - Prior to Rubin Museum’s closure of the physical space on 17th street - - - - -
Dharma Drink is now Self Service!
The table is always reserved in the same spot - just show up and see what happens - just like if you were hanging out meeting other Buddhists and travelers randomly in Kathamandu, India, Japan, Korea... And don't take the RSVP too seriously - people are coming now who don't RSVP. The word is getting out....
Everyone is invited! Dharma Drink is all about building community amongst the Buddhist and like minded crowd in New York City. Greg, the founder, was inspired to start Dharma Drink by hanging out with all of the great students of all of the different lamas in Kathmandu - Kagyu, Nyingma, Sakya, Gelug - totally Rimey (also Zen, Thai, Theravadan, yoga travelers, and the curious - just about everyone!). Everyone became great friends and learned from each other. We're there every Friday night - see you there.
Motivation: To make the Rubin Museum Lounge on Friday night the Buddhist and like-minded hang-out spot in New York. If you like Buddhas or to meditate - then you'll love the Rubin!
Who: ALL ARE INVITED. Feel free to spread the word. The more, the merrier.
