Costs and The Practice of “Dana”

Retreats at the Dharma Center have a 2-part “cost:” Because the teachings are considered priceless, the Buddha insisted that they are not to be priced and exchanged as a commodity,  The Buddha taught a practice of giving called “Dana” (the Pali word for giving) where students make a voluntary, anonymous offering of no specified amount to the teacher. Our teachers offer the teachings to you freely, and we invite you to practice Dana by making an offering to the teacher, in gratitude and support of the teachings – as best fits your circumstances and brings you joy in giving. This is offered (by cash or check) on the day of the retreat, anonymously, into the Dana basket.

Secondly, we ask a sliding-scale registration fee to cover Diane’s expenses and the Dharma Center’s costs of putting on the retreat.  Scholarships are always available and no one is ever turned away for lack of funds. Please opt for the rate that best suits your circumstances.

Thank you for your interest in our programs.  May they serve you well!
