THE PURPOSE OF THE FOUNDATION
The purpose of the foundation is to finance activities that support the spiritual development of an individual, whereby spiritual development means deepening and maintaining both physical and mental health.
Venerable Dhammadipa founded the DHAMMADIPA Foundation, on whose account he collects funds received from donors at home and abroad. The Venerable also donates funds obtained from his lecturing activities at foreign universities to the Foundation.
The main goal of the Foundation is the construction and operation of the SHANTA VANA meditation center. The center is intended not only for Buddhist groups of all traditions (in the spirit of Venerable Dhammadipa’s thesis “There is only one Buddhism”) but also for seekers and practitioners of all spiritual directions.
SUPPORT OF THE DHAMMADIPA FOUNDATION
The Forest Tranquility Buddhist Center (Shanta Vana) is located in a beautiful natural setting in Mala Skála. The spiritual father of the center is Bhante Dhammadípa. With the financial support of the foundation, the construction of a new meditation hall is underway, which you can support with regular payment of 1.200 CZK (aprox. 50 USD) every month:
Of course, you can support the foundation with a one-time donation. For example, you can use paypal.me/dhammadipadonation or the QR code below.
