Keep the Wheel Turning Through your Meritorious Offering!

YOUR SUPPORT GOES TO:

• GENERAL OPERATIONAL EXPENSES- With the limited budget of a dharma center, emerging learning academy, and monastery, unique and unexpected expenses always seem to make their way known. This fund is used for all expenses that are not associated with special-purpose funds. The activities being paid for through the general fund constitute the core administrative and operational tasks.
• MONASTICS/ MONASTERY- Nuns at Heartwood Refuge offer teaching, service, inspiration, and serve as role models for how we can make life truly meaningful. True Dharma friends, they are dependent upon the lay sangha for food, clothing, medicine and shelter. It is right that nuns should be such holders of the container for practice at Heartwood Refuge. Our Co-Abbot Venerable Pannavati, continues the ordination lineage of her (deceased) Master Thich Tu An Nu (Karuna Dharma), the first American woman to become a fully ordained monastic. Venerable has been integral in the re-emergence of the female monk lineage with a history of ordaining contemporary bhikkhunis and providing space for them to both practice the Dharma and assume spiritual leadership roles. Your support will allow this  community of  nuns to flourish as we represent and coalesce Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana traditions.
• DEVELOPMENT OF THE ACADEMY, VIDYA PROGAM, ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMING AND RELATED INFRASTRUCTURE- Correct Cultivation Learning from Buddha Academy is being developed to share the transformational teachings and methods of authentic Buddha Dharma. Your donation will help establish this special academy to grow and take root.
