Give & Get Involved

We rejoice in your heart of generosity

All Abbey programs are offered freely. In turn, the community lives solely by the kind offerings we receive. We call this an “economy of generosity.”

The monastics of Sravasti Abbey endeavor to live a life of generosity and simplicity. We dedicate our lives to the Buddha’s teachings, practice them earnestly, and offer them freely to others.

Thus, we do not charge a fee for the teachings we give or for the food and accommodations shared with our guests. 

We trust that people will value this way of life and work, and will respond generously by providing what is needed to live and spread the Dharma in a modern society.

This spirit of mutual generosity, respect, and care follows the age-old system the Buddha established whereby lay and monastic sanghas live interdependently, each contributing what they can so that everyone can learn and practice his teachings.

Supporting a monastic community cultivates seeds of kindness and generosity, supporting you—our benefactors—to progress along the path to enlightenment. Read more about the Economy of Generosity >
