I am inspired by the Buddhist tradition of dāna or reciprocal generosity as well as the philosophy of the gift economy, or solidarity economy.
In line with the Buddhist tradition of freely offering teachings with an open hand, I am committed, as much as is practically possible, to sharing these offerings freely while being open to receiving any support one might be moved to give to help sustain these offerings.
I believe the teachings of the Buddha to be priceless, of incomparable value. With that in mind, I offer my time, energy and teachings as a gift while inviting any support in return. I feel a sense of duty to the traditions that I have benefitted from to continue this way of offering.
It is not a transactional payment in exchange for an offering but rather a gesture of support that expresses value for that offering and contributes to the continuation of that offering in future.
Gifting it forward so that others can partake in the offering.
The teaching of awakening as passed on through Buddhist and other lineages is freely given. It is your birthright.
If you would like to offer support, no matter how small, you can do so via paypal here or Revolut or contact me for bank details.
But there is no expectation or obligation.
Many thanks.
