Dear Members and Friends of Sonoma Mountain Zen Center,

We bow in deep gratitude; thank you for being part of Sonoma Mountain Zen Center through your practice, volunteering, participation, or for financially supporting us. Together, we sustain this precious container of practice of the Way and help preserve the Buddha’s wisdom far into the future. This year has been one of rejuvenation and deep appreciation for our SMZC sangha extending to the larger maha-community, and none of it was possible without you!
