Every activity and program that we offer is made possible through people's voluntary contributions of time and money. The Sangha gratefully receives all voluntary contributions that support our work to make the Buddha's teachings available in Albuquerque. (For more about dana, here is an essay from the Cloud Mountain Retreat Center site: The Practice of Dana.) |
