“A crystal takes on the color of the cloth upon which it is placed, whether white, yellow, red or black. Likewise, the people with whom you spend your time whether their influence is good or bad, will make a huge difference to the direction your life and practice take. Spending your time with true spiritual friends will fill you with love for all beings and help you to see how negative attachment and hatred are. Being with such friends, and following their example, will naturally imbue you with their good qualities, just as all the birds flying around a golden mountain are bathed in its golden radiance.” – Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
Help us Become and Stay Sustainable
Make a Monthly or One-Time Donation
As a traditional Dharma center, we never charge for our teachings or programs, relying entirely on free-will offerings (dāna) to support our work. If you have benefited from our mission and offerings, or would like to help make them available to others, we invite you to become a Spiritual Friend through a monthly commitment of support. Donations of any amount are welcome and deeply appreciated.
Our goal is to receive $6,000 per month in recurring donations, which covers our basic operating expenses, including rent, insurance, website and technology costs, office expenses, and modest staff compensation. We strive to run a lean and efficient organization, handling our programs, websites, bookkeeping, video production, and administrative work in-house whenever possible.
If our teachings and community have been meaningful to you and you are able to contribute, please consider becoming a monthly supporter. You may also make a one-time donation using the donation button below.
Every donation, regardless of size, helps us continue offering authentic Dharma teachings and programs to all who seek them. Your generosity ensures that these teachings remain freely available to anyone seeking wisdom, healing, and spiritual growth. We are deeply grateful for your support, and all donations are tax-deductible
