The Practice of Dana:  Generosity, Donations or Charitable Giving

Dāna is any form of giving.   Dāna दान is a Sanskrit and Pali  word that connotes the virtue of generosity in Indian philosophies.  Generosity is at the heart and core of many spiritual practices in both Western and Eastern practices.   In the Buddhist practice, dana is considered to be the first of the six perfections of ethical practice. It is the heart-opening gateway to the five other practices (morality, patience, energy, meditation, and wisdom), one that diminishes the natural impulse towards greed, deepening liberation from the clinging that causes mental suffering.  

 

Although donations are greatly appreciated,  please do not  if you're not in the financial position to do so. Know that you are always welcome to practice with the group.   The donations received will go to help support ZYC, teachers and special guest teachers.
