Mission statement:

To promote the practice of Zen by supporting all beings in exploring and
deepening their spiritual practice.

History and Meaning

Giving Without Expectation

"Dana comes from Indian Sanskrit and roughly translates into gift, alms, or donation.  It is regarded as one of the most important virtues of all mystical practices including Zen.  In Zen it is known as dana paramita or perfect giving. The giving of gifts is done without attachment.  Giving without expectation of return.  It is also known as the practice of mutually dependent arising."  

 - Roshi Randy

The Many Beings Are Numberless, I Vow to Save Them. 

Greed, Hatred, and Ignorance Rise Endlessly, I Vow to Abandon Them. 

Dharma Gates are Countless, I Vow to Wake to Them. 

The Pathless Path is unsurpassed, I Vow to Embody it Fully.
