Becoming a Member
​Ananda asked the Buddha, "Is it true that good fellowship is half the holy life?"
"No Ananda," the Buddha replied, "good fellowship is the entirety of the holy life."
Membership
Becoming a member of No-Rank Zendo serves multiple purposes. On one level, it solidifies one's practice intent by establishing a sense of commitment to community. Though membership requires nothing of members beyond paying dues, even this helps one to feel a sense of belonging and investment. On another level, it  helps support our community of practitioners by establishing fellowship and commitment to one another. Membership confers practical benefits including  increased contact with the teacher, priority reservation for sesshin, and access to our member group forum. Membership requires only a commitment to the sangha and some level of financial support. The recommended donation is $100 a month per member, but people are asked to pay what they can. (Of note, no one associated with No-Rank Zendo receives a salary or stipend of any kind - including the Osho. All donations go toward rent, supplies and offerings.)
