New York Charity Association (N.Y.C.A) is a non-profit organization under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). The organization was founded in 2019 and was previously known as the New York Charity Society.
Our organization is dedicated to serving society through various initiatives.
Our motto is: "Love without boundaries." Love is our faith, and the spirit is our home.
Our mission is to contribute to the well-being of society through education, meditation classes, mental health support, interfaith dialogue, local arts promotion, cultural exchange programs, and aid for underprivileged communities.

Master of Arts in Religion Education
New York Theological Seminary
I have practiced Koan in Chinese Chan under Zen Master Jinghui and Soto Zen under Yencan in China, both of which belong to Mahayana Zen. Additionally, when I visited the U.S., I learned Theravada Ānāpānasati and Vipassana meditation. I have combined the features of these practices and continue to apply them in my daily life.
I am also deeply interested in studying theology, particularly ancient Judaism and christy, Middle Ages theology. Early Vedas influce until early Buddhist thoughts transformation and the rise of Mahayana Buddhism.
My ultimate goal is to use my religious studies and practices to help people attain inner peace and discover their natureself with the charity platform.
