An Invitation to Support Kagyu Samye Dzong Johannesburg Temple

The great masters of the Kagyu lineage have always emphasised that generosity (dāna) is one of the foundations of the path. Through generosity we create the causes and conditions for the Dharma to flourish and for many beings to benefit.

For more than 30 years, Kagyu Samye Dzong Johannesburg has been a place where authentic Buddhist teachings have been studied, practised and shared. Most of our teachings and regular practice activities are offered freely, and this is possible only because of the kindness and generosity of our community.

By becoming a member, you help ensure that the Dharma continues to have a home in Johannesburg — a place where people can encounter genuine teachings, deepen their practice, and find friendship and support within the sangha.

Membership is R150 per month. Your contribution helps meet the ongoing costs of maintaining the Temple, caring for our shrine, supporting visiting lamas, and providing a welcoming space where the Dharma can continue to be shared for the benefit of all.

Financial generosity is only one way to contribute. Offering your time, skills and energy is equally valuable. Whether you help at community work days, assist at events, contribute professional expertise, or simply lend a hand when needed, every act of service strengthens our sangha and supports the flourishing of the Dharma.

If Kagyu Samye Dzong Johannesburg Temple has enriched your life in any way, we warmly invite you to help sustain this precious centre so that it may continue to benefit many beings for generations to come.

Membership: R150 per month
