What Inspires you to support SMC?

Why I Give

I feel that helping SMC is one of the best ways we can help the world – by helping to maintain and grow a space where others can wake up and be of benefit. It’s like funding a change at the source rather than trying to patch the results of our harmful actions, of which there are so many.”

“my name is William McKeever and i choose to give to SMC because it is one of the most potent dharma practice centers in the world today. And it is home to the incalculably precious Great Stupa of Dharmakaya.”

“SMC is a rare environment that allows people to live together in a powerful natural-spiritual setting — for a weekend or several years. The land is tamed, blessed, and precious. The whole situation is very well established, and is worth protecting and nurturing to the extent of our abilities.”

“My name is Faith Miller, and I happily give to SMC because it is here that I have received so many precious teachings, experienced the dralas, felt the poetry of incredible beauty and tenderness, and benefited from the support of the wonderful staff. I wish that all beings could spend time in this magical place.”
