For the Kitchen:

As in the time of the Buddha, the monastery does not grow or buy food and therefore is completely dependent on daily alms and donations of food. Please call the monastery prior to donating food items to inquire about which specific things are currently needed.

The following food items are used on a weekly basis (For an updated list of things for the kitchen, please call the monastery or email us):

• • Fresh fruits & veggies

 

• • eggs

 

• • soy milk

 

• • juice

 

• • herbal teas
