Dāna: The Practice of Generosity

Supporting the Asbury Park Zen Center

In Buddhist tradition, dāna (generosity) is the first of the Six Pāramitās—the foundational perfections that awaken wisdom and compassion. Dāna is more than giving; it is an offering from the heart, a recognition that the path is sustained by mutual care, community, and gratitude.

At the Asbury Park Zen Center, your contribution directly supports:

Weekly meditation and Dharma talks with Myoshin Roshi, our formally ordained Japanese Zen monk
Maintaining access to a peaceful shared space at Ebb & Flow Yoga
Community outreach programs, beginner-friendly meditation offerings, and public Dharma teaching
Developing our new home at AsburyParkZenCenter.org
Scholarships and accessible pricing for practitioners in need
The long-term vision of establishing a stable Soto Zen presence in Asbury Park

Your generosity—whether large or small—helps us keep the teachings accessible to all.
