Bodhikusuma is a non-profit organization relying on your support to spread the Dhamma for the benefit of others.

The Buddha would always teach first and foremost about the value of giving before giving teachings such as morality, karma, and the 4 noble truths.

Giving leads to gaining good merits. Yet the amount of merit gained is determined by 3 factors: the intention behind the giving, the spiritual purity of the recipient, and the kind and size of the gift.

So if you are going to donate please give with the intention of purifying your mind of greed and selfishness, know that your support for Bodhikusuma provides for noble monks and guests and allows it to spread the Dhamma, which is the greatest gift of all, and please give generously.
