CHARITY
At PotalaStore, every purchase becomes an act of compassion. Following the Buddhist principle of Dana (generosity), we commit $2 from each order to charitable causes that align with our values of mindfulness, compassion, and spiritual growth. When you choose our meditation cushions, singing bowls, or healing crystals, you’re not just enhancing your practice—you’re helping build temples, support monasteries, care for animals, and provide meditation resources to underserved communities across Asia and beyond.
The ancient Buddhist text ‘Treatise on Awakening of Faith in Mahayana’ teaches that true giving arises from the desire to share prosperity with all beings. This philosophy of interconnectedness guides everything we do at PotalaStore. We believe that the path to enlightenment includes actively reducing suffering in the world. Through your mindful purchases, we practice the Six Perfections together—transforming commerce into a vehicle for positive change and collective awakening.
Your donations directly support multiple initiatives: funding Buddhist temple construction and restoration in Tibet and Nepal; providing free meditation supplies to prisons, schools, and community centers; rescuing and caring for stray animals through shelter partnerships; and supporting elderly monks and nuns in remote monasteries. Each quarter, we share transparent reports showing exactly where funds were allocated, featuring photos and stories from the communities we’ve touched together. To date, our community has contributed over $50,000 to these causes.
Every item in your cart carries the potential for ripples of kindness across the world. By choosing PotalaStore, you join a global sangha of conscious consumers who believe that spiritual practice extends beyond the meditation cushion. Together, we’re proving that e-commerce can be a force for healing—one mindful purchase at a time. Thank you for trusting us as your partner in both personal growth and collective compassion. May all beings benefit from our shared merit.
