Generosity

The practice of dana, the Pali word for “generosity,” dates back to the time of the Buddha. His words (in the quote at right) are as relevant today as they were then. In ancient India, as currently in some Buddhist Southeast Asian countries, the teachings were given freely by the monastics to the lay people and, in return, the recipients would provide the “four requisites” to sustain the spiritual community: food, clothing, shelter and medicine. Today, the practice of dana often takes the form of service work or financial contributions to communities that are continuing the lineage that the Buddha started, making the teachings freely available to all. Triangle Insight continues this tradition by offering all of our activities free of charge (excluding retreats, where the lowest fee possible is charged in order to cover facility expenses).

Triangle Insight is designated as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit organization. Your contributions are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.

Thank you for your generosity. We trust the Buddha would approve of these modern methods for this ancient practice, and that the same benefit of practicing dana may be realized.
