Giving

In Buddhism we say that generosity is a practice. What does this mean? Generosity, dana, is the first of the Six Perfections. When we prepare to give, we have the opportunity to go inside and notice what we are holding. 

True generosity can melt the heart, preparing the way for the next Perfections. When the heart is open, the ego is almost gone.  

We ask that you give in support of the teachings and the temple if you are able.

Volunteering

A sangha is a co-op that creates the causes and conditions for the teachings. Please consider volunteering your time and skills. It’s a great way to make relationships in the Sangha as well. 

  • We need an umzed for every Saturday Sangha

  • We need temple keepers to set up and return the room

  • Look to sign up for these roles in the near future.
