Offering Food & Supplies

As alms mendicants in the tradition of the Buddha’s ancient monastic way, we live wholly dependent on the kindness and generosity of our lay community for our daily requisites including food, shelter, clothing, and medicines.

For 17 years, we have received your kind messages of support and a stream of generosity that sustain us on the path and bring us immeasurable joy and encouragement. With deep gratitude, we share whatever goodness arises from our practice. May we all abide in the blessings of well-being and happiness.

In- Person Meditation and Teaching:
Join us for Sunday meditations followed by a Dhamma talk – 1.30 to 3pm in the Dhamma Hall through Jan 5, 2026 and resuming on April 5, 2026.

Dhamma Podcasts are published weekly. Please visit the home page if you’d like to receive them.

~ May your generosity be a well-spring of joy. May kindness prevail and may we all live free from hunger – in harmony, safety and peace. ~
