Donations


Donations to the Dharma Centre
All donations made to the Dharma Centre of Canada qualify for a tax receipt. We are dependent on donations to maintain and upgrade our retreat property. This retreat property has many separate buildings, allowing for meditation retreats in private, secluded cabins, or in the multiple accommodation units which are unaffected by food preparation and consumption, washroom noises, and other activities. One consequence of this separation of activities is that we have many buildings to maintain, and so the work of property preservation is enormous and continual. We make great effort to keep the accommodation and food costs low in order to support as many beings as possible in meditation retreat work. In fact, our operating income is below our operating costs (when adequate building upkeep and equipment maintenance is factored in).

Help support this property and the work of unfolding that goes on here by sending your financial assistance. Cheques should be made payable to The Dharma Centre of Canada, with a memo to designate which project you would like to support. To ensure that you receive your tax receipt, check that your name and address are clearly legible. Our mailing address is:

Electronic Funds Transfer

By filling out a form and sending us a VOID cheque, you will be to make automatic monthly contributions/donations to the Dharma Centre. The process is automatic, almost invisible; the bank does much of the work. Each new year you will receive a tax receipt from us with the total amount you contributed in the previous year.
