GENEROSITY
Generosity is the first of the six paramitas that the Buddha taught his students to cultivate. The practice of generosity develops loving-kindness and compassion, deepens awareness of our interconnectedness, breaks into the grasping mind and encourages non-attachment.
One of Chicago Ratna Shri Sangha's deepest wish is to share the Buddha's teachings with all who are interested, regardless of their ability to pay. Because of this all special events and teachings are by donation only.
However, the income we receive from these events barely covers our operating costs. To balance our budget and to provide wise stewardship of our resources, donations are a huge help. It is important also for you to know that our spiritual director, Ven. Drupon Rinchen Dorjee who is a non-salaried, this is his only means of support and your donations directly benefits Drupon la and the Sangha greatly.
