SUPPORTING CITTAVIVEKA

Ways to Support

Offering food to the monastic community provides an opportunity to visit and participate in the lifestyle of the monastery.  Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the monastery being closed, cooking facilities are not available in the monastery kitchen. We will gratefully receive food prepared outside the monastery.

​

Friends of Cittaviveka often enquire about what is needed. Please find below a list of what would help, along with things that we currently have enough.  Thank you, Anumodana!
