Membership
Sanneji Zen ry is a member-based association, and our activities depend on membership fees and volunteer contributions. As a member of the association, you have the right to vote and make decisions at the annual meeting.
The membership fee is €40 per month in Helsinki and €35 for members in other city centers. The membership fee supports the activities of the city centers as well as Sanneji Zen Temple’s visiting weeks, sesshins, and other activities that are open to everyone.
As a member, you receive a discount on Sanneji retreat fees. Membership also includes the opportunity to borrow books from our shared libraries. The board and an individual member may, if necessary, mutually agree on a reduced or higher personal membership fee.
We hope that the membership fee is viewed as a donation. Each member, in their own way, makes Zen practice possible not only for themselves but also for others.
If you wish to become a member, please discuss the matter with an instructor or send an email to the membership registrar.
We ask everyone to ensure that membership fees are paid regularly. You are also welcome to pay the entire year’s fee at once; this simplifies our bookkeeping. If you wish to cancel your membership, please contact the membership registrar and notify them. Those facing financial hardship may request a reduced membership fee.
