Donations

Dharma Drum Mountain (Melbourne Chapter) is a Non-Profit organisation. We do not receive any funding from any organisations. Other than the occasional grants for our multicultural activities, the centre is funded entirely by kind donations from members, friends and visitors.

We hope to be able to continue to provide a place for free regular Buddhist practices, such as meditation, chanting, Dharma Classes for the general public. It is our hope that through our practices and activities we will be able to actualise Dharma Drum Mountain’s vision of “Uplifting the character of humanity and building a Pure Land on Earth”.

Thank you for your generosity

 Whether or not you are able to make a donation, there are other ways you can help further the goals of DDM, such as volunteering your time, skills, and energy, as many are doing at DDM centres around the world. On behalf of our late founder, Master Sheng Yen, and the sangha, thank you for everything you are doing through your own practice and generosity.

Volunteers

DDM Melbourne relies on the volunteer efforts of many to share in the tasks and responsibilities of sustaining it. Volunteering provides an excellent opportunity to strengthen our practice outside the meditation hall, cultivate loving kindness toward others, further your connection to the community, and make the centre your true refuge.

The centre needs volunteer support for various regular and special activities it holds from time to time. If you would like to volunteer please email contact@ddmmelbourne.org.au
