Offering Dāna
The purpose of the Alameda Center for Buddhist Meditation (ACBM) is ‘supporting, fostering and advancing the teachings and practices of Buddhism in North America, and especially the tradition of Samatha (“calm-concentration”) meditation practice as taught by Nai Boonman Poonyathiro.’
Contributions to ACBM are used to support the practice center located in Alameda for Samatha meditation activities, events, and courses offered throughout the year. ACBM is wholly supported by voluntary contributions.
One-time and ongoing contributions are both warmly welcome.
Ongoing contributions are especially valuable as they provide a basis for long-range planning.
Please consider making an ongoing monthly contribution if you can.
