Donations (Dana)

Dana is the Pali word for "generosity". Continuing a Buddhist tradition that all teachings be given freely, IMC does not require payment for any of our teachings or meetings. The generous donations of our members support our teachers and all our center expenses.

All donations to IMC are tax-deductible.
