$5/moEarth Dāna PatronYou are the foundation of this growing community. Patrons at this level provide the "ground" upon which this project can grow — the space and time I need to create meaningful video pieces for this community to enjoy and learn from.All levels receive the same offerings and our equal gratitude; your choice of tier simply reflects your capacity to sustain the work:
$15/moTree Dāna PatronFor folks who can provide a little extra shade and reach. More supporters at this level allows my work here to branch out - so I can produce more original works (like my conversations with Bill Porter) and also get back to work on my feature-length documentary: ”WAKING UP - tea & Chán Buddhism in China”.Includes everything in Earth, plus the quiet satisfaction of pitching in knowing your extra support will help this Patreon grow.
$50/moMountain Dāna PatronFor folks who have the means - more support at this level helps my Patreon unfurl like a landscape scroll-painting - vast and distant “Mountains and Water” full of exploration and inward journey. Supporters at this level make this work more accessible for everyone and ensure its total independence.Includes everything in “Earth” and “Tree”, plus the deep resonance of knowing your stewardship nourishes this entire landscape for the benefit of the whole community.
$108/moSky DānaFor folks who wish to offer a canopy of support—patronage at this level provides the spaciousness that allows independent cinema to breathe. Sky Dāna donors help bring resources to the studio, freeing up more time and space required for patient crafting of immersive, engaging, contemplative cinema that honors these traditions. Includes everything in “Earth,” “Tree,” and “Mountain,” plus my deepest gratitude for providing the open sky under which this work can flourish.
