The production of these: livestreams, videos, blogs, class materials, and PDFs is supported by the generosity of viewers, and listeners and readers; just like you.

Although donations are optional, if you wish to benefit from the teachings

of the Buddha Joy Meditation School

three things are mandatory: 

1 - attend livestreams punctually

2 - participate enthusiastically, and 

3 - be considerate of your fellow students.

DONATE

YOU WILL

When I told 

Gen Wangamo

When I told my teacher, Gen Wangmo, that I desired to be a monk, a predatory expression danced upon her face as she asked me how I'd support myself.

 

For in the Tibetan Tradition

monastics must pay for room, and food, and robes and books and the like. 

This money often comes from family or friends, or patrons (who make donations),

or students 

 

and monks who find no patronage sometimes become homeless, wandering,

long-haired, bearded, Buddhist yogis.

As a disabled fellow, I found this to be quite physically taxing, and have resolved that the Buddha Joy Meditation School 501 (c)(3) would use the donations it receives to support the next generation of monastics that they might study and practice without the ensnaring distraction of searching for sustenance, shelter, and instruction. 

 

The feeding and guidance of the poor, veganism, animal abolition and sustainability also we support.

 

So please enjoy all the blogs, videos and livestreams that the Buddha Joy Meditation School freely offers you and find it in your heart to support us with a monthly, tax-deductible donation through Patreon.

 

An effortless way to give to the Buddha Joy Meditation School is to do your online shoping on Smile.Amazon and designate that the Buddha Joy Meditation School be the recpient of Smile.Amazon's benevolence.

 

To those who would be my gratis students

I would remind you that neither fear, nor guilt, nor desperation will serve you well on the path of meditation.

 

Simply be punctual in your attendance enthusiastic in your homework, generous with your skillset, and everything could take care of itself.
