Dharma Wheel Turns

The Bahay Dalangin Sangha has entered into an exciting era of growth and spiritual dynamism. Our lives as contemplatives-in-action have attracted many others to try our way of life. We are eager to provide every opportunity to make our path to awakening available to all who seek it. In order to do this, our operations need funding.

As you know, Bahay Dalangin operates entirely on pledges from members and donations from friends. The practice of dana (giving or generosity) is part of the commitment we make when we undertake our shoken or when we become formal students of Zen.

Our monthly pledge is an obligation of every formal student of the sangha. The amount of the pledge, however, is voluntary and will be a confidential matter between the student and the Treasurer who receives the amount. No one will ever be denied membership due to financial inability.

The Finance/Logistics Committee humbly requests that we honor our commitment. Your generosity will not only allow our sangha to thrive but will also pave the path for many more to find the way to enlightenment. Amy Manaligod will be sending out a circular with instructions on how to fulfill on pledges.

If you are interested in doing samu for the Finance/Logistics Commitee, please contact Amy Manaligod.
