We are pleased to announce our 2023 fall fundraising campaign—Sangha as Refuge, Awakening Together
Contributions to Bright Way Zen will help us:
-
Continue to cultivate the Dirt and Cloud Zendos and ensure our community remains vibrant and cohesive
-
Provide rich, varied programs and practice opportunities, making the Dharma accessible to everyone
-
Ensure we are increasing our teacher salary each year to support a full-time position
We count on the annual fundraiser to meet Bright Way Zen’s operating expenses. Your donation is an essential part of reaching our goal and contributing to our growth. We encourage you to consider a one-time gift or to increase your membership pledge as you are able. Be on the lookout for a follow-up text, email, or phone call from a board member who will ask how you can support our campaign at this time.
Please help ensure that no matter where you are in the world, Bright Way Zen will remain a steadfast refuge for you in Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha.
With deep bows,
The Bright Way Zen Board
