The many expressions of our Zen practice depend on an underlying element: virya, also known as inspiration, motivation, persistence, vigor, or joyful enthusiasm. For over sixty years, the wide community of San Francisco Zen Center has been a source of virya for each other and for the world. Your enthusiastic, joyful support is critical to sustaining this precious Sangha offering.

It doesn’t matter how much money you have—even if you have very little, you should pay respect to it and you should make the best use of it by using it to help our society. Just to sit on a black cushion is not the only practice; how we treat money is a very important practice for us.—from Becoming Yourself by Shunryu Suzuki
