Dana: The Gift of Generosity

In the spirit of dana, we honor the practice of giving as a vital part of the Dharma path. Dana is not just about financial support—it is a gift of the heart, a way to express gratitude and generosity. Traditionally, it is given in the form of money, time, or service, allowing communities like ours to flourish and continue the practice of awakening.

Your financial contributions sustain our work and ensure that Step One Zen remains a space of growth, reflection, and awakening for all who seek the path. In addition to financial support, the gift of your time as a volunteer is equally invaluable. By offering your presence, skills, and energy, you help create the conditions that allow others to engage in the practice of Zen.

Whether you give through monetary donations, time, or service, your contribution is deeply appreciated. It is with the support of people like you that we can continue to serve the awakening of all beings, nourish our community, and offer the teachings that help us all find peace and freedom.

Joyful moment

May you give with an open heart, knowing that in the act of giving, you awaken the joy that lives within. As you offer dana, may you feel the flow of generosity moving through you, reminding you that abundance is not measured by what you hold, but by what you freely share. May your gift be a seed of joy, not only for those who receive but for yourself, as you discover that in giving, you are never depleted, only ever more connected to the boundless love that nourishes all beings.
