When a virtuous person gives to a virtuous person with a trusting heart a gift righteously obtained, placing faith that the fruit of action is great, that gift, I say, will come to full fruition.

HINOTORI, the Urban Nun Zendo, is set up as an independent, non-profit organisation that is supported by generosity of its students, members and donors.

The basis of membership is mutual support. Not only that you support Zendo’s work and the evolution of human consciousness, but you are also supported in your practice, which enhances your personal potential.

 

Rather than turning membership into a commercial transaction, Hinotori, the Urban Nun Zendo relies on the generosity of people like you, who see this practice as an important part of their lives and express that feeling by contributing to the development of the compassionate and mindful community.

 

To quote Buddha " ... when gathering support, members of the community should be like bees moving from flower to flower, not impacting too greatly on any individual flower."   You are this flower, a lotus that can emerge from the mud in all its beauty. 

 

By becoming a member, you will join the growing number of visionary people who understand that compassion and mindful living are the next steps in evolution of human kind and society.
