Membership at the Henjyoji Shingon Buddhist Temple

Membership offerings at the Henjyoji Shingon Buddhism Temple are available in two tiers: local and national/international. In order to be considered a local member, you must live in Oregon or Southwest Washington and provide a current mailing address. Local members have the right to vote for the Board of Directors during Board Elections only when they have engaged in temple activities, either virtually or in-person, for one calendar year. Engagement with the temple can be participation in online or in-person classes, committees, or on-site restoration and cleanups.

All paid members, whether at the local tier or national/international tier, have exclusive access to (except when stated otherwise):

• Annual omamori upon request

• Home, business and family blessings (this is for local members only and at the discretion of the Head Minister)

• Funeral services and memorial services at the temple

• Weddings, oshichiya (baby naming) at the temple

• Renting the temple’s social hall, depending on availability and any state or local government restrictions on assembly due to COVID-19

• Exclusive invitation to special events

When selecting your membership option, whether local or national/international, you can choose between:

• Individual: $50

• Family: $75

• Senior (Over 80 years old): $0

Members who pay recurring monthly donations of $50 or more during the previous membership year will receive an automatically renewed membership the following year, beginning May 2021.

All members must read and abide by the temple's Code of Conduct. Please also read more about the Board of Directors for information on voting for the Board or running in the Board Elections.
