Retired educator Stephen Poppick and his wife May are devout Buddhists who visited the ABMA many times while it was based in Utica. When it became too inconvenient for the monks to continue living upstate, Stephen helped find a house in Bed-Stuy to turn into the Metta Parami monastery for a nominal rent. He also provides other help to the monks, such as choosing an ESL class.
