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 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. In addition there is also the gasoline used for transport.

If you are coming to the vihara or one of our teaching venues and would like to make an offering for the nuns, please consider bringing any of the current items we need: (** indicates priority)
