Contributions to One Heart Sangha are Tax Deductible.

Our only source of income is donations. Your donations help our sangha 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

You can either donate directly with a credit card or log into your PayPal account and donate. If you like, you can set up a monthly donation. Dana given to Silver Spring Zendo/One Heart Sangha are tax-deductible.

If you are paying for a Sesshin, Zazenkai, or other special event please mention it in the note box with your payment, along with your registration name and email if they are different on your PayPal account. For general donations, you may note a preference for the sangha, scholarships, or teacher support.

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.
