The premise of Zen is not mysterious: there is a basic human sanity and clarity which can be realized and embodied, and which holds hope for our future. The generous support of our donors expresses their commitment to this hope. Working together, we can send it out to the world.

Other Ways to Contribute: Immediate Needs
We are currently working to construct the first building on our monastery land. Right now, we desperately need two things: volunteers, and tools to for our work.
To volunteer for our Korinji work crew, please contact Korinji. Though we especially need volunteers with basic carpentry or construction experience, all others are welcome! During each of our Korinji work weekends we have plenty of work for everyone, and all of it is crucial to the development of our new monastery. There are few things more satisfying than helping to build a place that will be used for Dharma practice, and will benefit future generations in untold ways. Please give us your energy and sweat!
Regarding tools: If it can be used for simple construction, clearing land, landscaping or gardening, we probably need it! Here is a partial list:
