Cost of Events
Why Do We Have Fees for Events?
Ideally the Dharma would be offered for free. In fact many people offer
their time and energy selflessly to make these events happen. And in
fact we endeavor never to exclude anyone from participating because
of inability to pay. However our events typically incur many expenses,
from airfare for visiting teachers to food for participants.
Dana for Visiting Teachers.
Dana supports visiting teachers who greatly enhance AZC's offerings.

Next Step
Next-Step is for people who have attended a meditation instruction and who are interested in bringing what they have learned to the zendo. This is an hour and a half class where we will go over the forms and ceremonies in Soto Zen and will touch on things like how to move around in the zendo, bowing, chanting and service.

Dogen said, “Do not follow the ideas of others, but learn to listen to the voice within yourself.”
Members of JustThis’s response group reacted to Dogen’s instruction by listening inside and giving us art and thought.
