DANA

Dana is the Pali word for “generosity” or “gift.” It is intrinsic to the Buddhist tradition. The Buddha stated that the teachings were priceless, and thus should be offered freely to those seeking the wisdom of the dharma. The act of giving itself is of immeasurable benefit to the giver, opening the heart, diminishing one’s self-absorption, and valuing the well-being of others.

Each week we are given the opportunity to offer such a gift to our teacher in appreciation for his or her willingness to impart this wisdom. There is no suggested amount, since dana is not a payment for a service, but rather a way of inspiring both gratitude and generosity in our hearts. Notice: SFVS can no longer accept checks made out to SFVS intended as dana to our teachers. Dana checks must be made out directly to the teacher. We no longer can act as a pass-through.
