SUPPORT & MEMBERSHIP

We are able to offer the Dharma to all only because of the generous support of so many. If you find it important to you that a place such as this is able to do the work it does, you might be moved to contribute financially to its support. Electronic contributions may be sent via the Donate button below (PayPal) or via Zelle using czc.business.mgr@gmail.com as the recipient (preferred).

CONTRIBUTIONS

Our temple is a community resource, a repository of those influences that foster awakening to the reality beyond all boundaries. This resource is offered freely to anyone sincerely looking for support in their journey of awakening. In keeping with the long Buddhist tradition, there is no charge for anything the Center has to offer. The only exception is sesshin, since it involves expenses connected with food and lodging, but even sesshin fees may be underwritten by resources from the Abbot's Fund in cases where one is unable to afford them on one's own.
