Dana/Donations are one key way to help the monastery sustain itself as a non-profit spiritual practice center.
A suggested minimum dana/donation of $20 is always appreciated. There is a donation box at the back of the big meditation hall and in both the brothers’ and sisters’ dining halls.

We also asked for an additional $5-10 donation towards the basket of offering for the monk and nuns.

Note: This is Mother's Day
