Today we found the first dana given to the new monastery-in-construction―we don’t know who put it there but want to express our heartfelt thanks to that person! 
We’d like to know who this kind benefactor is―in case you read this post, please contact us! 
"A wise person is a giver of life, strength,
beauty, and inspiration.
An intelligent giver of happiness
gains happiness in return.
Giving life, strength, beauty,
happiness, and inspiration,
they’re long-lived and famous
wherever they’re reborn.”
