Become a Member

Thank you for your interest in becoming a member of Empty Hand Zen Center! Membership is not required but is, instead, an expression of generosity. Anyone can become a Member of the Zen Center by offering regular financial support. It is up to the individual, and reflects their resonance with this practice and the teachings offered.

• Fill out a membership pledge form for the current calendar year.  We ask that you complete this annually as confirmation of your continued support.

• We suggest a $100 level of monthly support. That said, any level of regular financial support qualifies one for membership.  Should circumstances change during the year, your pledged amount can always be revised.  

• Contributing by Check: please always write “membership” on the memo line.

• Contributing by Cash: please place cash in an envelope with your name and the word “membership” on it.

• If you need assistance in arranging recurring payments through your bank or third party services, please let us know. We'd be happy to help. 

We are a 501(c)(3) not for profit organization - membership and donations are tax-exempt; fees for retreats are not.

Thank you for making this commitment to the well-being of sangha. It enables the Dharma to continue to benefit you, your Dharma friends, and all beings.

Thank you for this gift!
