One of the ways you can best support Yokoji is with a pledge.

By giving extra money on top of basic membership you can personally ensure the continuation of our mission. We aim to provide students and families with a supportive environment for the teaching, training and practice of Zen Buddhism; both now and on into the future. The overheads for running this Training Center are around $200,000 a year, and with a small residential community and staff, we can only generate so much income from our operating activities.

Membership and pledges are our most stable forms of income. To step up and pledge to be either a Friend of Yokoji or a Temple Guardian is a precious gift that you can give to maintain the Center and support all those who use it. If Yokoji has a place in your heart and in your life, please practice dana paramita, or perfection of giving, and make a pledge.
