For those who wish to sponsor the chanting, donations can be made towards meals, fire offering ceremonies, or the tea served during the chanting. General contributions towards these special practices are also welcome. Be sure to include a prayer with your donation which will be read aloud to the assembly.

It is customary to make “changbu” (squeezing a small slice of bread in your left hand, leaving imprints) to place in the Chiblu box. You may mail a changbu, along with pieces of fingernails, stands of hair and loose change to be placed inside the Chiblu box. YOUR CHANGBU MUST BE RECEIVED BEFORE FEBRUARY 23rd.

You may donate any amount and provide us with the names for dedication (both living and deceased).  To make these dedications, download the donation form in English / Chinese.

You may make your donations on-line or simply mail your tax-deductible contribution to:
