Membership Requirements and Benefits
Monthly membership contribution
General membership - $30
Student/Limited income/Out of Town membership - $15
Traditional membership* - contribution of effort and/or goods (by arrangement)
* A traditional member would, following the tradition of the original
sangha in the Buddha's time, contribute skills, time or needed items to
the temple. Such a member might take care of office work, do maintenance
chores, or contribute tea treats, vegetables, or needed equipment and
supplies. Coming at least once a week to Zen Center would also qualify
one for traditional membership.
To take advantage of this option, a prospective member must speak with
the Membership Director (appointed by the Board) and make a formal pledge
of effort or materials, which would then be recorded as that person's
membership pledge.
Membership benefits
10% discount on books purchased from Zen Center bookstore
May borrow books, tapes, or videos from library
May vote at annual membership meeting in April*
Not to mention the good feeling that comes from knowing that you are helping
to provide a place where people can come when they need peace.
* The annual membership meeting is for election of new Board members and
for transacting business relating to the long-term goals of the sangha.
