For ages, Zen Buddhist communities have survived on the dana, or generosity, of their practitioners.  Dana is the first of the 6 paramitas (perfections) of Buddhism.  It is considered a vital part of the practice.  A paramita is a virtue that requires practice to cultivate.  We give openly to support the Dharma, but also to practice non-clinging.  Not only is this an important spiritual practice, it is impossible for the dharma to survive without your generosity.  Small gifts when gathered together change the world.

On this page, there are many ways to give.  Subscriptions can be cancelled at any time.
