Give Dana
Support Lama Lena, the teachings, and the authorized teachers and translators who help you on your path.
Lama Lena
Lama Lena has taken a vow not to charge for her teachings and to receive voluntary dana instead. If you have attended a teaching and wish to give, you can do so via PayPal here:
Authorized Teachers
Our authorized teachers are volunteers. If you attend a practice group, receive support from them, or benefit from the website, social media and forum, you may wish to give dana.
Lama Tasha Star
Lama Tasha Star manages the website, newsletter, social media, and transcription volunteers. She also leads practice here and at Bodhisavage.
Jan O
All dana given to Jan goes dirctly into Lama Lena's travel expenses. Please use the link below to contribute.
Translators
Our translators are unpaid volunteers who generously offer live translations, moderate the online communities, and work towards translating this website. If you attend teachings in another language, please consider giving dana to your translator.
What is Dana?
In traditional Buddhist culture, dharma teachings are offered freely and students offer dana (donations) in an amount that is suitable for them. You are welcome and encouraged to offer dana generously within your ability for any retreat or online teaching you receive.
What is an appropriate amount for Dana?
If you’re wondering how much to give, please consider what you might pay for similar classes & sessions offered with a set fee. Please also consider your own income and the proportion of it you can reasonably spend on teaching. Most importantly, dana should come from the heart in a spirit of gratitude and generosity.
Fundraising Projects
Tenzin Phulchung Memorial Library | Tso Pema, India
The Tso Pema Library is very important to the Indian and Tibetan communities. For many it is the only option they have to read books. Tenzin was instrumental in keeping the library available and since his passing, in his honor, we are adapting to keep this great resource available.
Please consider donating to this great cause. Vicky will be assisting Lama Lena and the local Tso Pema library staff in fundraising. Please feel free to contact her with questions: victoriasalvati@yahoo.com
