Aloka Vihara Dana List
Pantry and Household Items
We are grateful for the generous responses in considering to provide items on our dana list.
Out of concern and care for the resources of our beautiful planet, we ask that whenever possible you do not order dana items for Aloka Vihara online. The packaging usually turns out to be excessive and wasteful, often using plastic or Styrofoam, which can take thousands of years to decay.
We understand that many of you will not be able to come to the vihara in person. Donating a Gift Card or a general donation are other practical and supportive ways to make an offering (** indicates priority).
