Dana
The teachings of the Buddha have always been sustained by generosity. The Buddha spent forty-five years offering the Dhamma, supported by the freely given generosity of those who found benefit in it.
The Pali word aññamañña points to this mutually supportive connection. Teachers offer Dhamma guidance and students offer dana. Both are supported in this way.
What Dana Supports
Your generosity supports:
How Much to Offer
There is no fixed fee. Many students choose to offer something in the range of $100–200 per meeting. This is a reference point—not a requirement.
If offering financial dana is not possible at this time, you are still welcome. You may consider offering generosity in another way in your life—as a way of keeping the practice of giving alive.
When to Offer
Dana is often offered shortly before or after a meeting. This helps support the ongoing sustainability of the work on a practical level.
How to offer
