Offer a Meal<\/h2>\n

An Expression of Generosity<\/h4>\n

Help continue a tradition that has flourished in Asia since the time of the Buddha \u2013 the offering of meals to spiritual practitioners.<\/p>\n

Food is offered to meditators, teachers, and staff as a simple act of generosity. Meal dana often celebrates a birthday, expresses appreciation for a dear one, honors someone who has died, or commemorates another of life\u2019s many milestones.<\/p>\n

If you or your group of friends would like to offer a meal, you can provide us with an optional brief dedication. This will be inscribed on our Meal Dana board at either or both of our centers for a particular day or meal that you select. Dedications can be anonymous, or acknowledged with your name(s).<\/p>\n

Donating meals is a direct way to support the IMS community. Your generosity will nourish your fellow meditators, teachers sharing the dharma, and staff and volunteers serving IMS. Your donation is tax-deductible.<\/p>\n

Please click on the amount that corresponds with the appropriate meal and center where you would like the dedication posted:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
