Your dāna to Auckland Insight Meditation (but not to Jill Shepherd) is tax deductible

We are a registered charity. If you are on our mailing list and include the correct payment references shown above, we will email you a tax receipt for dāna you have paid to Auckland Insight Meditation. This receipt will be issued annually soon after 31 March each year and will cover your payments made by bank transfers in the previous financial year. You can use this receipt for a tax deduction when you file your annual tax return. Unfortunately because we can’t track who cash has come from we are unable to issue receipts for cash payments.

Dāna can be gifted online, or with cash at our weekly meetings.

About dana - generosity

For 2600 years the Buddha’s teachings have been offered freely. In alignment with this principle, Auckland Insight Meditation is entirely supported by a small community of practitioners, volunteers, donors and teachers whose generosity makes the group’s existence possible. With no paid staff, everything the group offers is an expression of the practice of the generosity and goodwill of our teachers and volunteers. 

If donating online, please consider setting up a regular automatic payment. Even a small amount given regularly, makes a difference. Thanks, your dāna is appreciated!
