Although the Zen Studies Society (ZSS) has many dedicated and talented volunteers, we rely on the financial support of our Sangha and extended community of Dharma friends to maintain our temples and sustain the practice of our monastics. In Buddhism, dana (generosity) is one of the Six Perfections. Your monthly membership plays a crucial role in enabling ZSS to continue offering this vital, transformative practice.
