Caring For Our Temple


Caring for Our Temple

Running a Zen Center takes the effort of many, from ringing bells to gardening, to serving on the Board. None of these are accomplished by any one person, but requires dedicated work and are crucial to the well-being and continuing presence of the San Antonio Zen Center temple.

We currently need people to take on a variety of jobs around the Center. See below for volunteer opportunities to serve our Center.

Work needed:

  • Visit a nursing home-bound resident to offer guided meditation.

  • Flowers / Altar care for Zendo: picking up flowers, composting flowers past their prime, building arrangements.

  • Kitchen Keeper: help care for our kitchen practice!

  • Landscape work: weeding, sweeping, raking, watering plants, weed-eating, pruning, etc.

  • Bookkeeper / Accountant: someone experienced in Quickbooks, with knowledge of Excel and Google Sheets being helpful. This function is one SAZC is prepared to pay for. If you are able or know someone who is and could handle our books, please reach out to Karen at info@sanantoniozen.org

If you are interested in generously donating your time to the San Antonio Zen Center or have any skills you believe would be of use and would like to share them, please email info@sanantoniozen.org to arrange your help. Thank you!
