DANA ~ Dana is a Pali word (the language used at the time The Buddha lived) which means generosity, or offering. DANA is a completely different way of relating to what is offered. Rather than a commercial transaction, DANA expresses the love and appreciation for what has been received. The daily rate you pay for the retreat covers ONLY basic bills and organizational costs. Nobody receives any kind of salary. The DANA boxes that are put out at the end of each retreat support The Teachers and The tradition itself. DANA is not tips, it is not a token gesture, it is the vital resource that allows these retreats and tradition to continue. Be as generous as you wish...Please, support those who support the Dharma!
