Membership support and becoming a member of the Zen Center
If you are already a member, you can manage your membership support and make contributions using your Donorbox account. If you applied for membership online, this account was created for you and can be accessed using the Donorbox login page.
Otherwise, please use the form below to apply for membership.
To become a member, a student should practice sincerely and consistently, attending zazen at the center or online at least once a week, and participating in a three-day sesshin at HoenJi or a week-long sesshin at Dai Bosatsu Zendo.
Members share their time, talents, and financial support.
The level of Membership Support is at least $10 per month for every $10,000 of annual income or as your current situation allows. You may adjust your amount at any time in accordance with your circumstances.
Members receive reduced rates for Sesshins (at DBZ as well) and classes offered at HoenJi.
Members may request to become students of Shinge Roshi. With this step, they enter into the student/teacher relationship, with dokusan (private guidance from Shinge Roshi) at the heart of practice.
