Supporting the Temple
In the time of Shakyamuni Buddha, monks would walk an alms round each morning through the local village with a large bowl. Villagers would place food in that bowl and whatever the monk received would be what was eaten that day. Relying on the spirit of that way of life, Butsugenji is supported solely by donations. There is no charge for any event. We rely on freely given offerings to support the teaching of Buddhadharma and daily functioning of the temple as a vehicle for practice.
If you would like to support Butsugenji, please consider making an offering. Checks may be made out to the “Eugene Zendo” and sent to the following address:
Eugene Zendo
2190 Garfield St.
Eugene, OR 97405

Alternatively, you may make a credit card donation through Paypal. Since Paypal requires a processing fee, checks are preferred, however. Donations will be applied to the general temple fund. If you would like instead to make a personal donation to the priest or contribute to the temple-building fund, please make a note on your check or on the Paypal payment form where prompted.

Donations given to the Zendo are tax deductible, though personal donations to the priest are not. If you would like a letter at the end of each year acknowledging the amount you’ve given, please include a note with your donation.
