An End to Suffering Through Lovingkindness, Mindfulness, and Spiritual Awareness
In Buddhism, there are two primary ways to show respect to the Buddha. The first is dāna—offering the Four Requisites (food, clothing, shelter, medicine), sharing the Dhamma, and practicing loving-kindness. Monks earn no salary and depend entirely on lay supporters for their daily needs. Your gift ensures our Sangha can devote themselves fully to practice and service.
Wat Lao Buddhovath of Rhode Island is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. All donations are tax-deductible (aside from ~5–6% processing fees).
