Membership Program
Why Becoming a Regular Sustaining Member Matters
As a volunteer-run, non-profit organization, we rely on your support to keep our doors
open and our programs thriving.
OCBC offers a wide range of programs, including meditation sessions, compassion and
wisdom classes, Buddhist study courses, non-residential weekend retreats,
prayers/pujas, and wellness classes, both in person and online, at low or no cost.
In addition to high-quality programming rooted in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, OCBC
provides a welcoming and inclusive space for community members seeking universal
education that promotes positive human values and secular ethics.
By becoming a member or making monthly donations, you will help us
continue these invaluable services.
Our immediate goal is to cover our current operating expenses,
and prepare for the arrival of Geshe Tenzin Legtsok
as our Resident Teacher in the summer of 2025. (Read about him
here.)
By becoming a new member, or continuing your monthly donations
at whatever level you are able to manage, you help us continue our mission,
guided by the Five Pillars of Service.
Please consider the knowledge, connection, and benefit you have gained from visiting
OCBC over the years and join the 5% of attendees who donate monthly as
members.
This is a wonderful opportunity for you to contribute to the wellbeing of our Bay Area
community. We rejoice for you!
We are committed to using your hard-earned donations respectfully and ethically for the
greatest benefit.
