The Act of Giving

The Dharma and the teachings are considered priceless.

It is with clarity and compassion that the Buddha created a wholesome momentum of generosity in the world; his understanding of the mind and heart were offered freely without expectation of reward, or compensation, sharing instead for the benefit of all beings. Those who found benefit in his teachings would traditionally offer food, clothing, medicine, and/or shelter so the community of practitioners could be sustained.

It is in this spirit that I wish to be a small part of this field of merit, freely offering my modest understandings of Buddhist teachings and practices to those interested. After receiving teachings, those that are moved to offer a donation can do so to further support my efforts to share the benefits of the teachings with communities of practitioners.
