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.
Jan O
Jan hosts a number of practice groups and coordinates Lama Lena's schedule and retreats. She asks that dana to her be given to Lama Lena.
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.
