DonateSupport Us
Sustained by generosity.
All our services — weekly meditation, Dhamma talks, retreats, and personal guidance with the monks — are offered free of charge. This is made possible entirely through the generosity of those who value the Buddha’s teachings.
Offerings of any size are received with gratitude, in the spirit of dāna — the practice of open-hearted giving that has carried the Dhamma across twenty-six centuries.
The Spirit of Giving
Dāna is a practice, not a transaction.
From the Buddha’s time to today, monastics have lived entirely on what lay supporters freely offer. Nothing is billed, nothing is owed. What you give is a reflection of what the Dhamma has meant in your life.
Your generosity keeps the doors open: it pays for the building, the utilities, the meals offered to the monks, and every program you see on this site. It also lets us say “yes” when someone arrives in need of guidance, regardless of their means.
Ways to Give
Two ways to support the monastery.
Service
Meal offerings
Offer a meal to the monks on a day of your choosing — alone, with family, or with friends.
