The word for donations in Sanskrit is “Dana,” which is literally translated as generosity. Dana is a deeply respected tradition among all of the Buddhist communities. It is a practice of generosity based on the love and appreciation of the Buddha, the Dharma, the Sangha and the teacher. The benefit and well-being of both the one who gives and the one who receives are equally important.

People often give a weekly donation of $5 to $25 or an equivalent monthly donation, and $60 to $75 per hour for Individual Dharma Teachings.  Whatever you give is deeply appreciated.

You can send dana to Open Heart Sangha via PayPal or Venmo. PayPal is connected to paulettem27@gmail.com. The Venmo account is @Paulette-Morris-4. A check can be sent to Open Heart Sangha, 1414 N. Nevada Avenue, Colorado Springs, CO 80907. Again…thank you.
