What is the achievement of dana?
Herein a layman dwells at home with heart free from the stain of avarice,
devoted to dana, open-handed, delighting in generosity,
fit to be asked for alms, rejoicing in sharing alms.
This is called the achievement of charity.
Shakyamuni Buddha

Completed On Saturday, September 22, the Friends of Shasta Abbey sponsored a work day at the Abbey. Wood was stacked, kindling gathered and two new solar panels were secured to the roof of the new Guest House Office Building. So much seems to get done when we work together, and morale is boosted by the shared effort. I, for one, was especially impressed by the harmony and productivity in the kitchen, despite the fact that several different versions of the same meal were being whipped up simultaneously! It is a wonderful opportunity to work and train so closely with the monastic community. Thank you to all who contributed to a great work day!
