support the teachings

If The Annointer is your teacher, even if you have never met - if she has substantially impacted your life, it is appropriate and important to give dana, or the teacher’s gift.

This donation for the teachings is an act of generosity on your part - due to your gratitude for the teachings. This brings you into consent with The Annointer, who then can give more teachings as an act of generosity on her part. This creates an uplifting exchange of generosity-gratitude for both parties.

Giving dana, when appropriate, can be an important part of one’s spiritual practice and is important to having integrity with oneself.
