Generosity makes our sangha possible.
The practice of generosity
Generosity (dana) is a fundamentally relational activity: it cannot be practiced alone. It establishes connections that are conduits for energy, imagination, care, appreciation, support, encouragement, and attention. True relationality is imbued with generosity that cannot help but flow both ways, and even ripple outward beyond the immediate occasion and circumstances of giving.
As we become more attentive, we cannot help but notice the vast network of generosity in which our entire lives have been supported and nourished. Our hearts are opened and a profound appreciation naturally flows through us, freely finding new expressions in our own generosity. Welcome to the world of abundance, the world of unceasing, universal dana, the whole-hearted expression of appamada.
Give
At Appamada, space and time are freely offered so that anyone may come and be nourished by the teachings, by the connections with the teachers and sangha, and by the practice. There are no fees for our core offerings. We ask you to be among those whose generosity makes them possible.

Your contribution sustains the zendo and our online connections, about $340 a day. It may be tax-deductible, as Appamada is a 501(c)(3) religious organization.
