All instruction and dissemination of meditation practice material offered here are free of charge, and we never expect anything in return. There are costs involved in running courses, creating and distributing Dhamma materials, as well as running and maintaining a meditation centre. For this reason, people often ask if there is a way they may support our organization. Below is a list of ways you may support our work.
Donate Funds
Persons wishing to donate monetary support for our projects may donate to Sirimangalo International, our registered charity located in Ontario, Canada. Donations will be generally used to support our meditation centre as well as our online teachings including our YouTube broadcasts and this website. Our donation options are below:
Donate Via PayPal Giving Fund (CAD)
Donating through PayPal Giving Fund ensures your full donation makes it to the organization, as we incur no fees on donations through this platform (you may incur a currency conversion fee from your financial institution). Please note that donations through this platform are in Canadian Dollars. The widget below can help you convert from your currency. Unfortunately, there is no way to set up a recurring payment through this platform.
Donate or Subscribe Via PayPal (USD)
The buttons below will allow you to donate US Dollars to our organization in a one-time payment or monthly subscription. We incur a fee of 1.6% + $0.30 on each donation. Use the options below if you have a strong preference for donating in USD, or would like to set up a monthly recurring donation.
Bank Transfer
You may donate directly to Sirimangalo International by international (or local) bank transfer. If you would like to make a bank transfer directly with your bank, please contact us.
Supporting Our Meditation Centre
Running meditation courses requires many different supplies; you can help us by donating needed items from our Amazon Wish List.
For other ways to provide food support, please visit the monastery’s food support page.
Supporting Venerable Yuttadhammo
Those who wish to support Venerable Yuttadhammo beyond the material requisites may see this Amazon Wish List, where we keep record of some other items that would be good for him to receive.
Dissemination of the Teaching
Aside from monetary donation, simply helping to spread the word about us and our website, distributing our video, audio and written materials, or seeding our How To Meditate DVD via Bit Torrent (please visit this site for instructions on how to use Bit Torrent). Our book on How to Meditate is a good start for anyone interested in meditation in this tradition, so passing it on to others would be a great help for our work.
Thank you to all of those generous beings who have already supported us thus far, and may all find peace, happiness and freedom from suffering. Anumodana.
