Ways To Support

Please consider supporting San Francisco Zen Center in our mission to express, make accessible, and embody the wisdom and compassion of the Buddha.

It doesn’t matter how much money you have—even if you have very little, you should pay respect to it and you should make the best use of it by using it to help our society. Just to sit on a black cushion is not the only practice; how we treat money is a very important practice for us.
—from Becoming Yourself by Shunryu Suzuki
