Why Did You Become a Member of SFZC?

Our members provide vital financial support so that we may continue to offer free public programs, talks, and daily sittings to all those who seek the Dharma. What motivates people to become members of San Francisco Zen Center?

Why do our members choose to contribute to the financial stability of our organization by making a regular contribution?

We asked a number of our members. These are some of the responses we received:
