New Tatami for the Buddha Hall

City Center is replacing the 42 tatami mats in the Buddha Hall to welcome our new Abbess, Kiku Christina Lehnherr.

Replacing the tatami is one of many planned changes to refurbish our urban temple, and that is why we could use your financial support.

Donations of any size to support the cost of this project would be deeply appreciated. Each new tatami mat costs $200. Please consider sponsoring a tatami or joining with several friends to sponsor one.

NOTE/UPDATE: If you would like to make a donation, please contact Tova Green, the City Center Director, at 415-354-0383 or ccdirector@sfzc.org.
