- Choose a quiet and pleasant place.

- Please make an effort to turn on the camera - this is part of creating a connection with the Sangha. Creating a Sangha atmosphere and a sense of shared practice in such a virtual way requires effort. What supports this, is the opportunity to see other practitioners invest a passionate effort in the practice. Sitting in front of "black cubes" (this is what it looks like when the camera is not turned on) makes it difficult to make the connection.

- Please turn off mobile phones (unless you use them for connection - which is less convenient than a computer) and other web pages and distractions. We do not want to put more, needless, challenge to our attention.

Tovana operates in the spirit of the ancient tradition of "Dana" (giving from generosity of heart and ability) and offers the Dharma with trust and an open heart. 

The Participation fee we publish on the site enables the commitment and o 

We are able to offer the Dharma this way thanks to the generosity of heart and the responsibility of the Shanga-the community of practitioners, which is expressed both in financial contribution and a large number of volunteers who enable the activity.

 

 

We are aware that we are in a period of economic uncertainty ,for Tovana as well.

Payment of the participation fee supports Tovana to continue to exist both during this period and also supports the possibility of returning and later offering retreats and courses in the same way we have operated so far.

We choose to continue to offer the Dharma with an open heart out of trust in the community and offer a price designed to connect the need to cover expenses with the spirit of Dana (generosity).

 

The cost of the day of practice is 40 NIS. The cost is for Tovana and does not include compensation for the teaching.

You are welcome to pay this or a higher amount to help Tovana continue to offer the courses and support those who are unable to pay.

Those who are unable to pay the full amount, please pay what is possible for you.

We want to make it clear that we do not want people not to attend the course due to a financial constraint.

 

All teachings in Tovana are given in the 'Dana' tradition - generosity of the heart. Teachers share the Dharma without a pre-determined price in order to allow anyone who is interested to come and practice regardless of financial situation.

This is a community support in which everyone gives according to their ability to help those who do not have access at the same time. 

At the same time the community supports the teachers through a donation made at the end of the meeting.

Many teachers who teach in Tovana dedicate their lives to spreading the Dharma out of generosity and a good will to help others along the way.

Donations help them continue to lead a deepening lifestyle along the way and share its fruits with others.

At the end of the meeting, the participants are invited to generously support the teachers and to continue teaching the Dharma in this way.
