thank you for joining us to share in the dharma
To become a member of our Temple shows a true commitment to the Dharma path. In becoming a member you help make sure we can continue to share the Buddhist message to all.
EASY to Join at any time
While dues are considered annual, please join us at any time. If you are joining later in the year we will prorate dues to cover the time that you start, typically with the first full month of your membership. So joining us on July 16 means we would prorate annual dues for August through December.
We encourage new members to join at the Dana level if they are able. We also ask new members to consider making donations for our special services. See the explanations and download forms as needed, below.
