In Buddhism, Dana Paramita is the first realization of a Bodhisattva. Dana is a Sanskrit word which means &quot;giving.&quot; It is a way for us to let go and benefit others. It allows us to open our hearts and step out of the usual profit-and-loss mentality that governs our society. It creates openness and it builds warm connections that are based on the value of our shared experience. The practice of generosity, or Dana Paramita, is vital to maintaining a healthy Zen Center. You can make a one-time contribution or maximize the benefit of your donation by becoming a supporting member through monthly or yearly automatic donations. We extend our deep gratitude to the many supporters of our practice place.
