Information on Voluntary Donations

Donations

Some of you have asked about offering Pirikara (gifts) to Ajahn Brahm as a way of paying respect and gratitude to him. However as you know Ajahn Brahm will not accept or handle money and other gifts.

A large number of participants have already been asking how and where to donate.

Ven. K. Dhammawasa, the Abbot of the temple has said that the Halton Peel Buddhist Society will accept voluntary donations. A donation box will be placed inside the temple and you can ask a volunteer for the location. You can make a cash donation (please write the name and address on an envelop available in the temple) or write a cheque to “Halton Peel Buddhist Society.” For the cheques written and cash donations with contact information you will receive a tax receipt from the temple in due course. Ven. Dhammawasa will send donations to Buddhist society of Western Australia to the monks expenses account and for the use of Jahna Grove Meditation Retreat Center.
