Skillful Effort, Selfless Action

—At Dassanāya Buddhist Community, we cultivate effort and action together.

The Buddha spoke often of training in right effort—cultivating and maintaining a clear and caring heart, and a bright and wholesome state of mind. This is our skillful effort.

At Dassanāya Buddhist Community, we help each other live for the benefit of all beings. This is our selfless action.

Your financial support makes it possible.
