The Tale of the Golden Grove

When the merchant Anāthapiṇḍada (“Giver to the Unprotected”) sought to purchase a park where the Buddha could teach, Prince Jeta set a legendary price: to cover every inch of the ground in gold.

Anāthapiṇḍada did so without hesitation. Moved by this devotion, Prince Jeta matched the gift by donating the remaining land and a magnificent gateway. This park, Jetavana, became the sanctuary where many of the Buddha’s most profound discourses were first spoken.

The Journey of Your Gifts

Today, our Matching Funds sponsors act as modern-day Anāthapiṇḍadas. They provide the “golden ground” that supports and amplifies the devotion of our community.

Dollar-for-Dollar: Every gift from our Give Each Month (GEM) Mandala is matched 1:1 by our Matching Fund sponsors.

Amplified Impact: Your sponsorship inspires thousands of global donors to join the mandala, ensuring the Buddha’s words are translated for generations to come.

Provides Infrastructure and Resources: Your sponsorship allows improvements to our digital infrastructure and ensures that the organization grows efficiently and effectively.
