“Generosity brings happiness at every stage of its expression. We experience joy in forming the intention to be generous. We experience joy in the actual act of giving something. And we experience joy in remembering the fact that we have given”

“Material success or wealth is neutral in itself, neither good or evil. It become evil only when one is attached to it or to amassing it for selfish reasons. It is good when one is not attached to it, and readily use it selflessly to benefit others in need. Wealth should lead to generosity, or it will become a spiritual obstacle. If there is propensity for great generosity for great charity, the richer the merrier”

“Do your little bit of good where you are; it’s those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world”

“Here he/she is happy, hereafter he/she is happy; one who performs meritorious deeds is happy in both existences. Happily he/she exclaims: I have done meritorious deeds.” He/she is happier still when he/she is reborn in a higher world“

Dear Friends/Sanghas,

At this point the monthly utilities, insurance, telephone, internet, food, medicine, transportation, temple maintenance totals almost cost around to $1800 to $2000 per month.

Due to Corona virus situation our temple daily, monthly, activities, programs, fundraising events were badly affected. Also we did not have any savings left.
