THE DHARMA JEWEL IS NOT FOR SALE: HOW TO SUPPORT DFF
MAKE A DONATION (One-time or recurring)
Click on the buttons to make your donation by secure online cred card payment or to print out our pledge form (pdf) to pay by check or money order. Setting up your donation as an online recurring payment is easy and enables us to strategically plan for the future operating costs of DFF and potentially take on new projects such as a permanent home for the center, or helping with the retirement costs of our teachers.
OFFERING OF PRACTICE & DANA: Monetary gifts are only one way to practice giving. Traditionally, the gift of our practice is the most important and volunteer donations may be made at teachings. The suggested donations for regular classes is $5-10 per class. Dana for the teacher is traditional and welcome. >MORE ON THE PERFECTION OF GENEROSITY AND THE OFFERING OF DANA
OFFER THE GIFT OF SERVICE: At DFF, the offering of service is a major factor in keeping the center functioning. While monetary support is always necessary to meet expenses, volunteer service is equally important. It enables us to host teachings, classes and other events, and plan large projects capable of benefiting many beings such as supporting the vision of great teachers like His Holiness. This manner of giving becomes the focal point for incredible merit. >CLICK HERE TO LEARN ABOUT CURRENT VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES AT DFF
LONG-TERM PLANNED GIVING: You may also wish to consider one-time special gifts, or to bequeath a portion of your estate. Making gifts to virtuous objects such as one’s teacher and Dharma centers creates incredible merit at the time of death and helps positive karma to ripen, thus increasing the likelihood of a favorable birth and the ability to continue one’s Dharma practice uninterrupted in future lives. >EMAIL US TO EXPLORE ESTATE PLANNING AND SPECIAL GIFT OPPORTUNITIES
