Supporting the Zen Center
Membership Information
Zen Center of Las Vegas was established for committed students who wish to work with a teacher on a personal and individual basis. New students are asked to make a minimum commitment to practice for six months.
Your continuing support and membership gives you the following privileges:
•Private interviews with the teacher
•Practice-related correspondence with the teacher
•Discounts for Zen Center of Las Vegas Retreats and events
No one has ever been denied practice for monetary reasons. While all attendees enjoy the same privileges, the amount of the requested member monthly donation to ZCLV differs, according to financial means. These categories are:
Student/Senior: for full time students and retired seniors on fixed incomes.
Individual: for single, local people who attend on a consistent basis.
Family: for couples who are married or have been living together for at least one year (minor children can be included).
Founder: for those who wish to make a substantial contribution toward the Center's operation.
Associate: for those who live at a distance, come occasionally.
Local people are asked to attend ZCLV for the Introductory Sitting Instruction session on the 1st WEDNESDAY of the month at 6:00pm (See schedule for more details). We also ask individuals to attend the center regularly once or twice a week for at least one month prior to making a donation commitment.
All donations can be made through our paypal account by clicking the secure DONATE button above. If you have any question about any of the subjects discussed, please contact the center either in person or you may send an e-mail to lasvegaszc@gmail.com.
Precepts ceremonies in the Kwan Um School of Zen (donning a formal robe and kasa) occur twice yearly.
When both you and the guiding teacher feel that you are ready to take that step, the ceremony protocol will be addressed in a clear and timely fashion.
