SPECIAL NOTE: Many of you have
inquired asked about costs. There are no fees for this special event. This
tradition of making offerings to those who make these retreats possible is
called dana, which is the Pali word for
generosity. There will be an opportunity to offer dana during your visit,
and it really up to you to decide how much you would like to give. How much
you give depends on the value of the teachings, your desire to support the
teachers, and those that work to make it all possible, and of course, how
much you can afford. There will be a box with a sign marked dana in the
meditation hall for Magnolia Village.
* For more
information on the Three Refuges see Dharma Memphis page on formal and
informal devotion at:

"A bodhisattva is someone who has compassion within himself
or herself and who is able to make another person smile or help someone
suffer less. Every one of us is capable of this."
