Zen Buddhist Temple hasn't added a story.
Zen Buddhist Temple Chicago is raising funds to pay for the upkeep of our building as it reaches its 100th birthday. The plumbing, heating, and electrical systems are all in need of serious updates and/or overhaul, not to mention the myriad of repair situations that arise unexpectedly as a building reaches the century mark.
The funds raised also take care of the full-time priests who are part of the Buddhist Society for Compassionate Wisdom who lead our Temples in Toronto, New York City, Mexico City and Ann Arbor, Michigan.
As members Zen Buddhist Temple, we're quite intimate with prostrations: a five-pointed bow that helps us prepare for our meditation sitting, teaches humility and is an act of dedication, veneration and giving.
We are performing prostrations on Dec. 4th to help this cause. We're asking supporters to pledge money per prostration. We'll doing no more than 500 of them (which takes a couple of hours). We've done the math: if you pledge 10 cents per prostration, that totals $50 but we're thrilled with any amount you'd like to pledge!
We honor all sentient beings as buddhas and are deeply grateful for your contribution!
