INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT

The Plum Blossom Society

Dana (giving) is the practice of generosity, an essential Buddhist practice that has helped ensure the continuation of mindfulness teachings for many centuries.

​

Your generosity will allow a child to attend a mindfulness teaching, a meditation hall to be built for Dharma sharing, and an entire community’s suffering to be transformed.

A GIFT IN YOUR WILL

The Cedar Society

Thay teaches us that we can never die.

​

We are a continuous manifestation. That is why the Thich Nhat Hanh Foundation created the Cedar Society as a path for practitioners to offer stable and long-term support through legacy gifts.

​

Legacy giving - also known as planned giving - is done by leaving a gift to the society of your choice in your will or estate plan. A legacy gift is given after the donor’s lifetime. A legacy gift often allows people to make a larger gift than they were able to during their lifetime.

​

To make a Legacy Gift, you may like to include in your Will the following: 

"I give to PLUM VILLAGE AUSTRALIA INCORPORATED (MOUNTAIN SPRING MONASTERY).

(ABN  51 780 536 385), for its general purposes and free of all duties,

(a) The whole (or x%) of the residue of my Estate; OR

(b) the sum of $ (x); OR

(c) (details of specific assets eg shares; realestate; objects),

for which an official receipt of the Plum Village Australia inc. will be a sufficient discharge for my executor.”
