As a Buddhist monk, living without the support of a local Buddhist temple or community, Bhikkhu Candana survives through the generosity of individuals and the occasional donations he receives to obtain his food, shelter, transportation, and medicine from supporters across the globe, as he continues his relentless work of preserving the Dispensation (Sāsana), by translating the Suttas and sharing The Dhamma, as taught by The Buddha.
