WHY GIVE?

The Dharma has been sustained for over 2,600 years by ordinary people making enduring  commitments of support. We are the latest in a long line of stewards and guardians of Buddhist teachings in our modern world. When you give to KSC, you help ensure that these timeless teachings—of compassion, clarity, and liberation—will continue to flourish far into the future.

Give what you can. Give as you are moved. Give with joy!  

Thank you for your generosity in all the ways you give to our Dharma home.
