Financial Support

Financial support of Kannon Do is based on the traditional Buddhist practice of Dana, an expression of heartfelt charity and generosity. We reflect and contribute according to our own personal means, rather than by a specified dues amount.

Dana suggests a monthly financial contribution of one hour of an individual’s monthly income. As an example, based on a work year of 2,000 hours (40 hrs/week x 50 weeks), Dana for individuals receiving $80,000 per year would be $40 per month. For incomes of $60,000 or less, Dana would be $30 per month.
