While all are welcome to practice here, membership in the Chicago Zen Center opens up further paths of practice and engagement. As one helps shoulder the responsibility for keeping the Center's doors open, one gets to enjoy the benefits of the unique practice environment for deepening one's practice. While the priests of the Center have made a particular commitment to the Dharma and those who practice here, it has to be said that the life of the Center is the fruit of the eager dedication, service, and support of its members.
