Meal Offerings to the Sangha
In keeping with the tradition laid out by the Buddha, fully ordained bhikkhunis are not supposed to cook. This helps to create a system of mutual support. By offering food (and other requisites), lay supporters provide the necessities for monastics to continue their practice, and monastics have the opportunity to share the fruits of that practice.
If you would like to offer a meal at the Sunnyvale meditation center, please email [email protected].
The monastics at KBV are vegetarian and also avoid the following foods: chickpeas, mung beans, tofu/soy (small amounts of soy is ok, like soy sauce), tomatoes, black pepper, peppers of any kind and spicy foods (no chilis, but spices like cumin and turmeric are ok).
If you'd like to offer a meal, but are not local or don't have time to come in person, offerings via DoorDash or any other food delivery service is also welcome.
Meals may be brought on the offering day or the evening before.
"Not Covered" means that meals may be offered on those days.
