Dear Friend,

We rely entirely on the generous donations of individuals like you to cover all of our operating costs and keep our temple and programming available for our community and visitors. We have also not raised our suggested donation amounts in many years. To continue providing this vital space for Rinzai Zen training in Chicago, we humbly request that regular participants in our programming become "Supporting Members" with a monthly subscription donation of $60.

Why Become a Supporting Member?

You may attend any of our events —including sesshin, zazenkai, seminars etc.—without additional donations. We will request a donation from non-Members for each event going forward.
Your support allows us to maintain our community, our activity, and our temple, ensuring we can continue to make our practices available to all. It fosters the preservation of our heritage and traditions within the broader community.

Thank you very much for considering setting up your Supporting Membership. You can easily set up your recurring donation by clicking here. Alternatively, you can make check donations by mail or drop cash or a check in our donation box when you visit. If financial circumstances make this contribution difficult, please consider making a recurring donation of an amount that works for you. Every contribution helps and is greatly appreciated.

Please join us in ensuring the future of our temple and community. Your commitment and generosity truly make all the difference.

Thank you!
