Membership

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
