Offering Food & Supplies

We follow the Buddha’s ancient monastic practice, living as alms mendicants wholly dependent on the kindness and generosity of our lay community for our daily requisites including food, shelter, clothing, and medicines. Your kind messages of support and the stream of generosity that comes our way bring us immeasurable joy and encouragement. Thank you.

Sound of Silence Meditation: Join us on Sundays from 1.30 to 3.30 pm when we meet in the Dhamma Hall for in-person afternoon meditations and Dhamma reflections.

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

If you would like to offer a cooked meal and/or groceries, for the Bhikkhuni Sangha, please write to: obspresident@ottawabuddhistsociety.com 

Donations can also be made of needed food, medicines and household items by:

  • sending a box through the post office; or
  • offering needed items through the Sati Saraniya food fund at Barnabe’s Independent Grocery Store in Perth: 613-267-6763 (ask to speak to Kathy or Debbie in accounting). Our volunteer driver will deliver your dana items to the bhikkhunis.

~*~ 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. ~*~
