YEAR-END GIVING

Please support Access to Zen & Rev. Liên

Give what you can

All amounts are appreciated!

All of A2Z teachings are offered on a Noble Giving scale, with 4 tiers of suggested ranges based on financial ability. A2Z does not turn away anyone for lack of funds. The beauty of this system is that many practitioners and newcomers who cannot afford other dharma practice opportunities are able to access consistent and attentive practice with a devoted teacher. Rev Liên is committed to continuing this accessibility, and asks for the generosity of those who have the financial means to support the work of A2Z to deepen and to radiate out to where it is needed.

This past year, A2Z had its second in-person 5-day silent retreat at Jikoji Zen Center! In 2026, A2Z’s year of kindness, we envision a kindness themed retreat. Stay connected with us to join our 3rd week-long retreat when registration opens! Time together for Rev Liên and A2Z students to deepen into dharma, and nourish one another with the jewel of sangha, is vital to sustain this life-long inner work. We will also be offering an intensive module on cultivating kindness from a Buddhist perspective. We hope as many people can join us, and your contributions will directly make that possible!

Some of the classes and programs offered by A2Z in 2025 included Monday night’s A2Z Meditation Group’s study series on Dr. Paula Arai’s book The Little Book of Zen Healing; The Dharma of Being Antiracist: A 12-Week Course; the 5 Personality Patterns Module program; and virtual healing spaces for those needing support during this past inauguration and for coming together around the L.A. wildfire crisis. Rev. Liên also appeared as a teacher at the Mind & Life Summer Research Institute, Dassanāya Buddhist Community, Brooklyn Zen Center’s Dharma Share, and more.

This year’s programming was designed as a response to the current globally difficult times, offering community practices of healing such as rituals and chanting along with silent meditation. We hope you can join and support us for 2026, when we practice with how to be together in kindness. Stay tuned for more soon.

Thank you for your donation!

We appreciate each dollar that will go to sustaining the carefully created programs we offer, as well as new opportunities to come. May joy and transformation be accessed by all!
