The society’s future aims include providing facilities and accommodation for monks and teachers from other Buddhist traditions. The Society operates in the same manner as the teaching of the practice at the center – on the basis of generosity and donation not for profit or benefit. Phra Ofer Adi is a monk who been practicing vipassana meditation for 16 years at Wat Lampang Wat Chom Tong in Thailand under the instruction of Ven. Ajarn Tong Sirimangalo. Phra Ofer taught for several years in Israel before becoming a monk in Thailand 6 years ago followed by several years as monk and teacher at a Buddhist temple near Frankfurt Germany.

The teachings are available and accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds, whether secular or religious, and from all ethnic groups and countries.
Tovana makes it a priority to offer its teachings and practices on a donation basis. Known as dana, this practice of generosity and giving, each according to their ability, allows people from all socioeconomic backgrounds to join.
