Dana - Donations
Dana, or generosity, is a beautiful practice in Buddhism that allows students the opportunity to express their appreciation for Buddhist teachings by supporting the Sangha and teachers.
"Generosity brings happiness at every stage of its expression.
We experience joy in forming the intention to be generous.
We experience joy in the actual act of giving something.
And we experience joy in remembering the fact that we have given."
-The Buddha
