If you, as a Buddhist organization, were able to do more in the fields of education, health, and counseling . . . it would be of great benefit.

—Tenzin Gyatso, Fourteenth Dalai Lama

We should continually focus our mind on Great Compassion. But what is Great Compassion? It is relieving the pain and suffering of others and helping them. It is through helping others that we can experience 'true happiness'—a state of constant joy.

—Venerable Master Cheng Yen

We Buddhists must . . . leave our temples and enter the temples of contemporary human experience, temples that are filled with suffering. The refugee camps, the prisons, the ghettos, and the battlefield will then become our temples. We have so much work to do.

—Samdech Preah Maha Ghosananda

Welcome to Dana Wiki


Dana Wiki exists to help Buddhists communities get involved in social service. On Dana Wiki, you can learn how to start and lead a small volunteer group; get information on different types of social service; read Buddhist reflections on social service; learn about Buddhist teachers and organizations that are involved in social service; and find places to volunteer.

Dana Wiki has five main sections, called portals: 1) how to serve, 2) areas of service, 3) reflections on service, 4) places to serve, and 5) Buddhist teachers and organizations. Each portal contains articles on its specific topic, along with collections of related articles called categories. A single article belongs to only one portal, but it may belong to several categories.


Dana Wiki is a wiki, which means that anyone, anywhere can edit it. Just register, verify your email address, and you're ready to start contributing!

40 articles since 19 July 2008

Dedication


At this very moment, for the peoples and nations of the Earth,
May not even the names disease, famine, war, or suffering be heard.
Rather, may pure conduct, merit, wealth, and prosperity increase,
And may supreme good fortune and well-being always arise.

—Jigdral Yeshe Dorje, First Dudjom Rinpoche
