9-11 Memorial Floating Lanterns Ceremony

9-11 Memorial Floating Lanterns Ceremony
On Saturday, from 6 to 9 pm, the New York Buddhist Church on Riverside Drive, Manhattan, will be holding its annual 9-11 Memorial Floating Lanterns Ceremony. The NYBC is a Jodo Shinshu temple established in 1938. The ceremony will be both Buddhist and interfaith. Before the many lanterns representing the dead are floated out on the Hudson River, a series of interfaith prayers will be led by the Interfaith Center of New York. Food will be provided by the local Sikh community.

The NYBC is led by the Rev. T.K. Nakagaki. At Huffington Post, Matthew Weiner and the Rev. Chloe Breyer write that after 9/11, the Rev. Nakagaki noticed that Buddhists had been left out of the city's memorial service at Yankee Stadium. So the next year he organized the first 9/11 floating lantern ceremony, and it has been held every year since. Hundreds of people attend.
