DANA is a Pali word meaning "generosity." Dating back to the time of the
Budddha, there has existed an interdependency between those who offer
the teachings and those who receive them. The teachings are given freely
since they are considered priceless. Registration for retreats cover
food, rental, transportation and other expenses. Any money left over is
used to support dharma activities. None of this money goes directly to
the teachers. Classes are also held on a donation basis. However, to
allow teachers to continue their dharma work, support from the students
is needed. At the end of retreats and classes there is an opportunity to
contribute.

Wheelchair access: please call ahead for information.
