from the website:
"Founded in a celebration of diversity, the East Bay Meditation Center welcomes everyone seeking to end suffering and cultivate happiness. Our mission is to foster liberation, personal and interpersonal healing, social action, and inclusive community building. We offer mindfulness practices and teachings on wisdom and compassion from Buddhist and other spiritual traditions. Rooted in our commitment to diversity, we operate with transparent democratic governance, generosity-based economics, and environmental sustainability.
THE PRACTICE OF DANA (GENEROSITY):
Consistent with the mission of the East Bay Meditation Center (EBMC), all EBMC classes are being offered without a fee. However, we ask that you consider providing a donation to the teacher and to the EBMC to allow us to continue to offer classes like these to the diverse population of the East Bay. This is known as the practice of Dana, which is how wisdom teachings have been provided in Asia for centuries. It allows exposure to valuable lessons independent of class and economic status.
Out of respect for people with environmental illnesses, please do not wear fragrance or scented products at EBMC events."
