Contributions to One Heart Sangha are Tax Deductible.

Our only source of income is donations. Your donations allow our sangha to provide spaces for sitting zazen, offer scholarships, and support our teachers.

Giving dana as Part of Zen: What is it?

The Buddha taught that Generosity is one of the ways we carry our practice and lives “to the other shore” to a place of kindness and open heart.

PayPal Online Payments or Donations

 

If you meditate with us, please consider dana of $25 per month, if you are able. Smaller or larger contributions made with a generous heart are equally dana, and equally welcome. If you like, you can set up a monthly donation.

If you are paying for a Sesshin, Zazenkai, or other special event please mention it in the note box with your payment. Also add the name and email you used to register if they are different from your PayPal account. For general donations, you may note a preference for the sangha, scholarships, or teacher support. Silver Spring Zendo, Inc. is a 503(c) nonprofit so donations are tax-deductible.
