DONATIONS

Ways to Give Dana

According to the tradition of pure Dhamma, courses are run solely on a donation basis — free from all commercialism, carried forward by pure volition.

Dana - The Parami of Generosity

According to the tradition of pure Vipassana, courses are run solely on a donation basis. There is no wealthy foundation or individual sponsoring them. Donations may be received only from those who have completed at least one ten-day course.

Neither the teachers nor the organizers receive any kind of payment for their service. Thus, the spread of Dhamma is carried out with purity of purpose, free from any commercialism.

Donations can be given at any time: at the end of courses, in-between courses, as one-time and recurring donations, and as annual gifts. The Rocky Mountain Vipassana Association accepts employer matching gifts.

The Rocky Mountain Vipassana Association is a 501(c)3 tax exempt organization and donations are tax deductible.

"Because someone else has donated, I have been able to learn Dhamma to purify my mind. I would like others to continue to have the same opportunity. Therefore, let me give something for the benefit of others, according to my means."
