Dana means generosity. The practice of the liberating quality of generosity has played a central role in the Buddhist tradition for 2,500 years. The teachings, the transmission of this treasure of experience is considered priceless, and we show our appreciation by supporting the conditions that sustain their transmission and practice for future generations. Teachers give the Dharma unselfishly, offering their time and knowledge without payment. In return, students take care of the basic needs of the teachers and for future generations. Dana is an expression of our appreciation and a way of saying thank you from the heart.

Generosity opens the heart, it reduces self-centeredness and gives special importance to the welfare of others. In doing so, we are really giving of ourselves: of our own time, energy, and material resources. The value of the gift is of little importance; the heartfelt giving is what really matters. Generosity is always voluntary; it should not be demanded. It is part of the natural flow of giving and receiving in this world – and it usually begins with receiving, just as it did in our childhood… Generosity produces many fruits; one wonderful one is that concern for ourselves continues to dissolve. Generosity makes love grow and much more.
