The cessation of all activities at La Gendronnière two months ago calls into question all the projects that were to be carried out this year:
- The continuation of the entire Gendronnière project launched two years ago and which is beginning to show very encouraging initial results;
- The renovation of the sewage disposal system, which currently pollutes the water table due to the lagooning, is no longer operational. The budget is estimated at around €50,000;
- Bringing all the buildings up to security standards following the December 2019 visit of the Security Committee, which also amounts to several tens of thousands of euros.
- Creation of a website dedicated to the Zen temple of La Gendronnière that will present all aspects of the practice of Zen, the natural richness and the unique potential of this place that has already inspired so many people... including ourselves!
We do not know at the moment if the summer camp will be able to take place and if so, under what conditions... The summer camp is La Gendronnière's main financial resource!
The AZI's current cash flow will not be sufficient to meet these expenses and the only way out will be the generous participation of each member of the AZI through a Fuse.
So today is an opportunity to show our attachment to the temple founded by Master Deshimaru 41 years ago and to express our gratitude and appreciation to him.
About a hundred people responded to Fuse's request for the day of zazen on May 3. Thank you to them!
Unfortunately, however, this is not enough and that is why we are making this solemn appeal:
LET'S OFFER A SESSHIN TO THE GENDRONNIÈRE
Since we haven't been able to do any sesshin in the last three months, let's offer one, let's donate!
