Practicing generosity cultivates non-attachment and is the antidote to the unwholesome factor of greed.  The gift of Dhamma is the highest form of giving.  By being a donor, you are giving the opportunity to yourself and our growing community to benefit from the Buddha's valuable teachings.  Your contribution will help us continue to share these teachings, offer retreats, invite teachers, and cover the overhead costs of running and maintaining a meditation and retreat center.
