Dana: In the Pali language of the early Buddhist teachings, dana means "generosity" or "gift giving." It is intrinsic to the 2500 year Buddhist tradition that the teachings are considered priceless and are thus offered freely by the teacher as a form of "Dhamma-dana." The early teachers, who were mainly monks and nuns, received no payment for their instruction. In turn, the lay community saw to it that the basic needs of food, clothing, shelter, and medicine were provided for the teachers. Continuing this tradition today, our teachers do not ask for any payment for leading a retreat. They are supported by voluntary contributions from the retreat participants.
