IMCC offers teachings that include the cultivation of loving kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy and equanimity. These are the forces that build not only better personal relationships but better local communities, nations and world harmony.
 
Please consider the importance of IMCC and the dharma in your life and give generously. Generosity is an important part of our teachings. The practice of dana is a way that we can each express our appreciation for the priceless teachings of the dharma that we receive.

In our efforts to disseminate the dharma, provide greater access to the wisdom of our teachers and to build community, IMCC recently undertook a successful fundraising campaign. The campaign strongly supports our mission and aligns with IMCC 2009 strategic goals which include enhanced engagement opportunities for members, expanded outreach and increased member diversity. Specifically, funds raised have allowed us to update audio visual equipment, purchase hearing apparatus for the hearing impaired, better microphones and a more efficient website to facilitate the growth of IMCC relationships with our members and communities at large.

All donations are tax-deductible. Please give generously in the dana basket at our weekly meetings, or to make a larger donation click here.  If you prefer, you can send your donation by mail to:

Generosity brings happiness at every stage of its expression.

We experience joy in forming the intention to be generous.

We experience joy in the actual act of giving something.

And we experience joy in remembering the fact that we have given.

                 --The Buddha

IMCC is a 501(c)3 organization which means your dana donations are tax-deductible. End-of-year statements will be issued to each contributor for annual dana paid by check or for cash donations. For more information please contact IMCC Treasurer Harry Hosier.

Dana — The Practice of Generosity

According to the Buddha, generosity or sharing what we have is one of the central pillars of spiritual life. In the act of giving we develop our ability to let go, cultivate a spirit of caring and acknowledge our shared interconnectedness.

The practice of dana has kept Buddhism alive for more than 2,500 years. In the Buddhist tradition there has always existed an interdependence between those who offer its teachings and those who receive them.

The teachings are given freely because they are considered beyond price. In return, it is vital for the students to offer dana to the teachers.
