Support the Sangha

Your generosity sustains this sacred space

The Spirit of Dāna

In the Buddhist tradition, dāna (generosity) is considered the first and most fundamental spiritual virtue. It is not merely charity — it is the voluntary relinquishment of attachment, an act that purifies the mind and plants seeds of merit.

When you support the Mahavihara, you become part of a lineage of lay supporters who have kept the Dhamma alive for 2,600 years. Every contribution, large or small, carries the same heart of generosity.

"If beings knew, as I know, the results of giving and sharing, they would not eat without having given, nor would the stain of miserliness overcome their minds."
— Itivuttaka 26
