Dana list

Many lay supporters ask what the monastery’s specific needs are, so they can offer requisites to the Amaravati community. The list below indicates the items needed by the community and is updated regularly . Should you wish to check on what items are most needed at any particular time, you can also contact Amaravati by email, using the form on the contact page. 

Notice: lockdown

Information for supporters wanting to offer dana during the lockdown period:

  • During this time, it is more helpful to bring groceries and pre-packaged goods rather than cooked food.
  • There is a table for deliveries and dana by the back gate. You are welcome to leave your offerings there, together with any dedications to be read out at the meal blessing.
  • The back gate is usually opened at 6.30 am and locked around 5 pm.

Thank you for your kind support.
