Hi there,
I thought I’d put all these Dana based options together to make it a bit easier to navigate.
But before I go any further I would like to explain a little about the practice of Dana (which for ease I sometimes interchange with donation).
Dana is a Buddhist practice to develop and nurture a deep sense of generosity, kindness and interconnectedness. It is not a matter of simply dropping a few coins in a box or setting up a regular bank transfer (although these acts are greatly appreciated ❤️). Dana is about mindfulness and understanding, it’s an opportunity to recognise what is really on offer and our place in it.
- In a world that finds simplicity and value in price tags, we may need a little encouragement to shift our perspective and open to a felt sense of appreciation which leads to the act of giving.
Dharma Circle is a ‘business’ that relies mainly on the generosity of those who turn up, those who have come to recognise the importance of genuine spiritual life, community and teachings (in all it’s varied and beautiful expressions). Dharma Circle will continue to exists through the generosity and support of YOU and others like you.
Dana, as an act of generosity, can take many forms - obviously, financial donations are very helpful (an amount that feels appropriate for you) but also you can be in touch if you are able to help out in other ways, like tech support, marketing or regular cleaning.
It’s also really helpful if you come along regularly, bring friends and participate in as many of the offerings as possible.
Thank you for taking the time to read through this little note (an act of generosity in itself)
With love and gratitude,
Samantha
Founder of Dharma Circle
