Bumps along the Road: Working with Common Obstacles to Meditation Practice

Our meditation sessions are completely free, but practicing Dāna (selfless generosity) is always welcome. Donations—whether money, volunteer support or testimonials—help support our community and keep our programs running. In Buddhism, Dāna reflects giving with compassion and without expecting anything in return, nurturing kindness, gratitude, and inner joy for both giver and receiver.
