Want to continue working with texts like Bussho?
Our Dogen Institute is always interested in talking with those who'd like to volunteer as listeners, transcribers, editors, traffic managers, designers or other roles involved in turning Okumura Roshi's teachings into publications in a variety of forms.
Volunteers report finding their work extremely rewarding, providing an opportunity for give-back, and for study. There are many exciting and varied projects underway in which you can participate from anywhere in the world. The Dogen Institute provides educational opportunities for all who are interested in the study of Dōgen Zenji and his teachings. Its primary mission is to make available Okumura Roshi’s life work on Dōgen. His translations, commentaries, and lectures are offered through books, audio, video, and web based materials. |
A word about financial supportIn response to the exceptional experience they enjoy while studying and practicing with Okumura Roshi, participants frequently feel moved to offer gifts of financial support to him, to Sanshin and to the Dogen Institute. All such donations are greatly appreciated, especially as we recover from the pandemic shutdown when so much of our programming was cancelled. Without the usual physical dana jars in which funds can be placed, we've enabled giving in different ways.
Gifts to Okumura Roshi: Go here to contribute to the Abbot Retirement Plan Fund or to make a direct donation online to Okumura Roshi. You may also send a check to Shohaku Okumura at 1726 S. Olive St., Bloomington, IN 47401. Please do not make contributions to Sanshin and ask that they be redirected or passed through to Okumura Roshi. Under the board's financial policies, it can't be done and your gift will remain with Sanshin. You must give to Okumura Roshi directly, and these gifts are not tax deductible. Gifts to the Dogen Institute: Please go here to make your contribution. Gifts to Sanshin: Please visit our giving page and choose the amount and method that works best for you. Thank you for your generous support, and for your practice! |
