Insight Meditation Community Houston Terminology

Dana

Dana is the ancient Pali word for "spontaneous generosity of the heart."

In the Buddhist tradition, the teachings are considered so precious as to be priceless. They are thus given freely, with the opportunity to offer voluntary donations, or dana.

The fees that IMCH charges for events and courses are only enough to cover expenses. Dana is requested and greatly appreciated for the teachings. The tradition of dana makes these teachings accessible to anyone drawn to them.

Dana is a practice of generosity for both students and teachers.
