Sangha, the community of practitioners, is one of the Three Jewels of Zen practice. Membership at the Indianapolis Zen Center means supporting the sangha both through practice and monthly dues. Membership also means becoming a part of our international sangha in the Kwan Um School of Zen.

Indianapolis Zen Center members receive our monthly calendar of events, the IZC quarterly newsletter, the Kwan Um School newsletter and Primary Point journal. Members have preference in available places at retreats and receive a discount on retreat fees. Members have the right to vote for Zen Center leadership or to run for leadership positions.

We ask that members plan to attend practice sessions at least twice a month and to try to sit one retreat a year. Membership dues are $25/month for individuals and $35/month for families.

The Indianapolis Zen Center, through the support of its members, offers a 2500-year-old practice in a traditional lineage to the central Indiana community.
