Donations

We are frequently asked what is the suggested donation for activities of the MN Buddhist Vihara. We cannot answer that question, because that would be like setting a price. The Buddha's teachings are priceless. We offer our services here for Dana. What is dana? Its simplest meaning is "generosity."

We practice dana by offering the teachings without a price tag. You can practice dana by making a donation to the Vihara; this temple is maintained solely by the generosity of people like you.

Donations can be sent via Paypal. Paypal lets you donate in US dollars no matter what your home currency is. To make a credit or debit card donation to MN Buddhist Vihara, please click on the Donate button below.

Please note that the button below will take you to Paypal, but you do not need a Paypal account to donate to the MN Buddhist Vihara -- you can use Mastercard or Visa without having to create an account.

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
