Taking Refuge

2020 Year-End Campaign

It is the support of Dharma friends that encourages us as we walk the intimate path of awakening together. The refuge of Sangha is what helps us to carry on.
— Nancy Petrin, Head of Practice, Beginner’s Mind Temple

Thank you to those who contributed to our 2020 year-end campaign. This continuing support makes it possible for San Francisco Zen Center to provide refuge in Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha and to offer the practice and teachings of Zen.

We are honored to walk this path with you.

With gratitude,

Central Abbot Rinso Ed Sattizahn and President Sozan Miglioli
