Dhammagiri is entirely dependent on donations. We do not charge for any teachings, activities or retreats.
As the monks are prohibited by the Vinaya to own or handle money, all financial donations to Dhammagiri Forest Hermitage are accounted for and managed by Brisbane Buddhist Vihara Inc.
Brisbane Buddhist Vihara Inc is a non-profit organization, registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profit Commission, who act as steward of the monastery.
If you would like to help Dhammagiri with our running expenses or special projects, and support the Sangha and the teachings of the Buddha, you can make a donation either on-line, or by downloading a donation form and forwarding a cheque, or by local or international bank transfer.
Please note that donations are not tax deductible for Australian residents. If you require a receipt for your donation, please provide your name and email address.

MERIT OPPORTUNITIES
PATIO ROOF PROJECT
We now have signed a contract with Trueline Patios for $178k (including GST, which we will be able to reclaim).
Contract includes some 280 m² insulated roof panels (200mm strong); gutters, downpipes and connection to existing rainwater tanks; and backets for 8 fans/lights; with 15 years workmanship garantee & 30 years corrosion garantee; using superior quality materials and finishes throughout.
Our donations have already reached $192k, some 87% of our $220k target, which is enough to fully cover the signed contract.
However, additional works are required, like:
-
Improvements to rainwater management on existing roofs
-
Eight large high-powered fans
-
Relocating of existing large marquee
-
Two Buddha statues in pediments of porticos, with artistic gable fretwork in background
-
Extension of the existing concrete slab in front of Dhamma Hall
Therefore, further donations to reach our $220k target are still most helpful and highly appreciated.
If you would like to contribute to the project, please indicate "Patio roof" with your donation.
MEDICAL FUND FOR SANGHA
Over the years Dhammagiri has hosted many well-known local and overseas senior and junior monks. The monastery incurs substantial costs in financing the medical costs for all these visiting monks as well as the resident sangha.
It is only due to your generous donations that we have been able to cover these expenses.
If you would like to contribute to medical expenses, please indicate "Medical Fund" with your donation.
TRAVEL FUND FOR VISITING MONKS
Dhammagiri has hosted many well-known interstate and overseas senior monks, whose visits have been spiritually uplifting experiences for all. We also regularly provide opportunites to more junior monks from overseas to train and meditate at Dhammagiri.
The monastery incurs substantial costs in financing the flight tickets, visas, documents and insurance for all these venerable monks.
If you would like to contribute to travel & visa costs, please indicate "Visiting Monks Travel" with your donation.
