Dharma Centers

I'm wondering if monasteries or Zen centers offer rooms to members of the community who need one for a short time. I'm thinking of moving to a new place to be closer to my girl and she's worried about not having a job and not having a place to stay, so i was just wondering if they have places like this for members of the center/sangha even for a price to support the temple.

Thank You.

    I am not sure about where you are, but some of the monasteries in Australia do this, but you need to be a 'member' of the temple and it is mainly for meditation retreats etc.
    I guess that was no help...

    I found this on tricycle.com's dharma center page. There are many others in the area

    I'm sure if you offer to do work for them, depending on the center, they'll be able to arrange something. good luck!

    yeah, if you're willing to follow their schedule, help out with chores, and take care of the monks, generally some of them will "take you in". Just call and ask.
