Vimutti Buddhist Monastery operates entirely on donations. We do not charge for any of the teachings, meditation workshops, retreats, accommodation, food, books or facilities that we offer. This system of mutual giving (dana) has been practiced since the time of the Buddha. Although the monks live simply with few possessions, the daily functioning of the monastery requires on-going maintenance and running costs. Everything we currently have is due to the past generosity of others, and donations in the present give the opportunity others to practice Dhamma in the future.
