MEZ Friends
The
first of the six “Perfections,” or Paramitas, is Giving. In giving we
receive merit, because we help something good continue in the
world. When we give, it actually benefits our meditation
practice, strengthening our ability to trust the universe and what
comes. A flow and ebb is created in both directions.
Donations help to maintain Mount Equity and aid unwaged participants.
It is through the mutual exchange of offerings for the priceless
Dharma teachings that a Zendo is able to flourish and meet the
growing needs of those who come to its doors.
