Your Donation is Precious

Dear Community, CTBC became a monastery December 11, 2022 when Ayya Ahimsa joined us as our Resident Monastic.

 

Currently the monastery is being financed by a Board member.  This support will end with her passing and if the monastery is to continue, the community will need to take over the financial support.

 

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

 

To give an idea of what it would take to fully support the monastery, if 100 people each gave $15 a month, this would cover basic expenses (utilities, taxes, insurance and some food....we assume food would be offered for many meals and thus not be an expense for the monastery).

​

Save On Food Cards: If you live in or near Canmore and shop for groceries at Save On Foods, they are offering to donate 10% of money spent, 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 in food and CTBC gets 10% from Save On.  To fundraise in this way, just send an e-transfer to ctbcfund@gmail.com before noon on the 5th of each month.  The cards will arrive about the middle of month and you can pick them up at one of the meditation groups.  Food cards are available in $100, $200 and $300 amounts.

​

Thank you for your support.  Annumodana.
