There is no fee for our classes or retreats.
Donations inspired by your generosity are accepted.
We practice the tradition of dana. These teachings are 2,500 years old and given freely since the time of the Buddha. The teachings offered at the Meditation Center of Alabama are completely free. Donations for weekly classes covers operating costs such as utility, food and supplies. Donations for retreats are also used to cover travelling expenses for our instructors.
This long-standing tradition of making offerings to those who attend classes and retreats is called dana, which is a Pali (the language of the Buddha) word for generosity. There will be an opportunity to offer dana at the classes or retreats.
Our staff and teachers, volunteer their time in order to practice generosity to maintain balance of mind, and to generate love and compassion. Selfless service is an essential part of the path of inner peace, an important step in the direction of liberation. With these feelings of love and compassion, the wish naturally arises to help others attain inner peace and happiness. Volunteering is an expression of gratitude for the teachings, by helping others and expecting nothing in return.
