Isaac was an incredible friend, more introspective and encouraging than anyone I’ve known. May this retreat help people feel the immense gratitude that Isaac inspired daily. 

Dharma Gates is connecting young people with the most essential resource for human flourishing: practices to connect with stable, clear, true, compassionate wisdom, passed down to us through rigorous and nuanced teachers who are devoted to the continuation of these wisdom lineages. This helps everything! 

We are at the vanguard for supporting the next generation exploring Dharmic practice. That’s why I work here and it’s why I love this org.

Holding Isaac and all of you in our thoughts, always.

So grateful to have this opportunity to sit with so many dedicated practitioners and to be able to support others around me.

I gave to sponsor the online and in person retreat ministry of Rev. Dave.  His teachings each week are inspiring and guide my practice so much.

Dharma Gates is a nonprofit dedicated to opening pathways into formal meditation practice for young adults.

A Buddhist organization working to support Beth Upton and her co-teachers in offering dana-based retreats in the Americas.

Dana Vihara exists to support the activities of Beth Upton’s American sangha. Our sangha holds that the dhamma is priceless, of incomparable and unquantifiable value. We have had the great fortune to receive these teachings freely. Out of gratitude to all the sangha who have preserved these teachings and given them freely through the generations as well as a deep commitment to the dhamma, we are working to build a resilient and sustainable dana culture to support dana-based retreats in the Americas. We exist to receive and house donations offered freely by those who share our resolve to make deep meditation practice accessible to our sangha. Donations are used to secure lodging, food, and other necessary conditions for meditation retreats in the Americas. In this way, we seek to offer the gift of dhamma to all those with the volition to practice, irrespective of financial contribution, so that students can honor the teachings in the proper way - through sincere practice. Your donation will support dedicated practitioners to deepen their dhamma and continue their journey on the path out of suffering.

The ideal act of dana is one in which “the donor, before giving, is glad; while giving, his/her mind is inspired; and after giving, is gratified.” (AN 6.37) Should you choose to make a donation at this time, we sincerely hope you will choose an amount that gladdens and inspires you and respects your financial circumstances.

***Sabbadānaṃ dhammadānaṃ jināti***

***The gift of dhamma surpasses all gifts.***

*Clarification: Donations made through this website will go exclusively towards funding meditation retreats in the Americas. If you wish to donate to support Beth's youtube videos or online teachings, please do so through her website, bethupton.com.*
