Celebrating a “Dana economy”: Birmingham Buddhist Centre, UK

From Triratna News on Tue, 3 Nov, 2015 - 12:35

Dana, or generosity, is top of several traditional Buddhist lists of fine ethical qualities to be cultivated. For any Triratna Centre, there’s a big decision: charge for classes or retreats and run the risk that some people will be put off booking, or run a “Dana economy” – relying entirely on donations - and risk a financial shortfall?

Dear Coogee Meditators


The Coogee Community is now up and running and meditation happening like clock-work at 6 am every morning.

And you are all welcome!...
