The Zen Lab stands and falls with our supporters. As a not-for-profit project, we are primarily dependent on membership fees and donations to cover the monthly costs. A donation contributes directly to the maintenance and further development of the project.  

​

You can currently donate via PayPal (see button below) or by bank transfer. Our donation account is set up at the Black Forest Zen Buddhist Study Center (ZBZS). We are happy to issue a donation receipt on request. As Zen Lab, we are fundamentally independent from the ZBZS, but we are in close contact with it. If you have any questions, please send us an email .

If you prefer to donate by bank transfer, which is particularly suitable for larger contributions, you can use the following form to request account information.

Thank you! We will contact you soon.
