Monastery Offerings and Supports
Santi Forest Monastery is maintained by the goodwill offerings of supporters and practitioners.
Below are the various ways which you can make offerings to support the Sangha and Monastery activities.
Food Dana (Offering)
Vinaya regulations require the monastics to finish their daily meal by noon. Some monks have only one meal a day (lunch) while some have two i.e. breakfast & lunch. Thus, there are 2 sessions of meal offering for lay supporters.
Daily Pindapata
The daily pindapata (alms round) practice is carried out around several places in Johor. This is a good opportunity for lay supporters to perform meritorious deed and accrue abundant merits.
The pindapata session will start around 8AM.
