INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT
The Plum Blossom Society
Dana (giving) is the practice of generosity, an essential Buddhist practice that has helped ensure the continuation of mindfulness teachings for many centuries.
​
Your generosity will allow a child to attend a mindfulness teaching, a meditation hall to be built for Dharma sharing, and an entire community’s suffering to be transformed.
A GIFT IN YOUR WILL
The Cedar Society
Thay teaches us that we can never die.
​
We are a continuous manifestation. That is why the Thich Nhat Hanh Foundation created the Cedar Society as a path for practitioners to offer stable and long-term support through legacy gifts.
​
Legacy giving - also known as planned giving - is done by leaving a gift to the society of your choice in your will or estate plan. A legacy gift is given after the donor’s lifetime. A legacy gift often allows people to make a larger gift than they were able to during their lifetime.
​
To make a Legacy Gift, you may like to include in your Will the following:
"I give to PLUM VILLAGE AUSTRALIA INCORPORATED (MOUNTAIN SPRING MONASTERY).
(ABN 51 780 536 385), for its general purposes and free of all duties,
(a) The whole (or x%) of the residue of my Estate; OR
(b) the sum of $ (x); OR
(c) (details of specific assets eg shares; realestate; objects),
for which an official receipt of the Plum Village Australia inc. will be a sufficient discharge for my executor.”
