Through monthly contributions, BZC members lay the foundation upon which we support our programs and operations. Membership reflects a vital and engaged community base. It’s a ceremony of dana (generosity) that nourishes our sangha: a quiet, powerful force for compassion, engagement, and peace in the world.

Members receive:

• Quarterly updates on Brooklyn Zen Center’s finances, Board decisions, and leadership announcements
• Invitations to sangha meetings to discuss strategic plans and budgets
  
  Membership is expected of those who:
• Meet regularly with teachers and practice leaders in dokusan (practice discussion)
• Regularly attend sesshins (retreats)
  
  Membership is required of those who:
• Request a formal teacher-student relationship
• Receive Jukai, the Bodhisattva Precepts
