πΏ Friends of the Monastery
The monastery is a place of refuge, peace, and practice. It blossoms because of the kindness, generosity, and dedication of our friends near and far. Each offering of time, energy, and support is a precious act of merit (puΓ±Γ±a), sustaining the Sangha and sharing the Dhamma with the world.
βIf beings knew, as I know, the result of giving and sharing, they would not eat without having given, nor would the stain of miserliness overcome their minds.β
β Itivuttaka 26
