Each scheduled program and service at RKSA is offered freely. In turn, our community relies solely on the generosity of all our members, supporters and visitors to continue to offer these programs and services.
Generosity is the foundation of the Six Perfections of Buddhist practice. There are many ways that someone can give to support the mission of RKSA. Every act of joyful generosity brings us closer to enlightenment.
