     No. We already have a Zen Center in my home town, and the Zen 
Center already has a rural property. I am just trying to make the 
begginers feel more comfortable and welcome in the Zen Center, so 
they will become permanent members. 
     I just wanted to know whether anyone here has ever tried 
something similar in his/her own Zen Center. I think it is a good 
idea to give the begginers an opportunity to express themselves and 
say why they are interested in Zen Buddhism. This is one of the goals 
of the questionnaire. The other goal is to use the information 
obtained in order to improve our practice and our community life. How 
that will be done, exactly, will depend on the information provided 
by the begginers who will answer the questionnaire. 
     
     Regards,

     Francisco.
