DONATE- DANA PARAMITA

SOTO ZEN PRIESTS PRACTICE A CEREMONY CALLED TAKUHATSU. TRAVELING THE STREETS, WITH BOWL IN HAND, PRIESTS OFFER THE RECITATION OF SUTRAS FOR THE BENEFIT OF DONORS IN ALL WALKS OF LIFE. RINGING A BELL, AND RECITING DHARMA, ZEN PRIESTS INVITE DEVOTEES TO PRACTICE DANA PARAMITA, THE PERFECTION OF GENEROSITY. BECAUSE OF THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM DONORS, THE PRIESTS ARE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO LIVE A LIFE OF SERVICE, PRACTICE, AND DEVOTION. IN THIS SAME SPIRIT, I EXTEND MY ALMS BOWL ONINE TO THOSE WANTING TO OFFER SUPPORT TO THIS SOTO ZEN PRIEST, THAT I MAY CONTINUE TO PROVIDE OFFERINGS LOCALLY TO THE SANGHA.

NINE BOWS OF GRATITUDE,
