Dhammagiri is entirely dependent on donations. We do not charge for any teachings, activities or retreats. As the monks are prohibited by the Vinaya to own or handle money, all financial donations to Dhammagiri Forest Hermitage are accounted for and managed by Brisbane Buddhist Vihara Inc (BBV). BBV Inc is a non-profit organization, registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profit Commission, who act as steward of the monastery.
If you would like to help Dhammagiri with our running expenses or special projects, and support the Sangha and the teachings of the Buddha, you can make a donation either on-line, or by downloading a donation form and forwarding a cheque, or by local or international bank transfer.
Please note that donations are not tax deductible for Australian residents. If you require a receipt for your donation, please provide your name and email address.

DHAMMAGIRI STUPA PROJECT
Many eminent senior monks suggested that the summit of the Dhammagiri hill would be a very suitable place for a stupa. A stupa that contains relics is an external focus to recollect the Buddha, his Dhamma, and his great disciples. Our 2.9m high 'Saddhamma Cetiya' is specially dedicated for the Authentic Dhamma of the Buddha to last a long time.
It is still possible to contribute to this project, as we're currently preparing 4 small Buddha statues and multiple bronze plaques with Dhamma inscriptions & symbols to install on the stupa. , We also had considerable costs in building the foundation & plinth; levelling & extending the surrounding site; crafting of foundation stone and installing it in formal ceremony; special Paritta ceremony with 10 monks led by LP Piak; and we still have to apply a high quality colour couting to the stupa.
Additionally, there are major preperations and logistics required for our Relic Enshrinement Ceremony with Luang Por Anan & many visiting senior monks on 03 to 05 May...
