Your Donation is Precious

Dear Community, CTBC officially became a monastery in June 2023 - with Ayya Ahimsa as our Resident Monastic.

 

Currently the monastery is still being partly subsidized by a Board member. This situation will end with her passing and if the monastery is to remain viable, more long-term financial support will be needed.

 

If you value the presence of a monastery in Canmore where you can receive Buddhist teachings and guidance, please consider offering your support. If possible a recurring monthly donation would be very helpful.  

 

To give you an idea of what that looks like, if 100 people each gave $25 a month, it would cover most of our basic expenses. We also hope that many people will take the opportunity to offer meal dana on a regular basis, and that Bow Valley locals will take advantage of the Save-On Foods fundraiser below.

​

Save On Food Gift Cards: If you shop for groceries at the Canmore Save On Foods or at Nester's Market in Banff, you can buy gift cards from us. For every $100 in gift card value that you buy from us, Save On Foods donates $10 to the monastery. So - at no extra cost to you - if you buy food cards from CTBC, you get the full value of the card and CTBC gets 10% from Save On. We use this to buy gift cards ourselves, netting even more value! We are very grateful to Save On for this generosity.

To purchase gift cards from us, send an e-transfer to ctbcfund@gmail.com before noon on the 5th of each month. The cards arrive later in the month and you can pick them up here when you come. Gift cards are available in $25, $50, $100, $200, $300, $400 and $500 amounts. 

​

Thank you very much for your support.  Annumodana.
