Participation fee:
Donation is base of participation in the course. The amount of voluntary donation for the teacher, travel costs of teacher and food for yourself during the retreat depend on the financial potential of the participant. That follows the Buddhist tradition which says the value of the Buddhist doctrine can’t be balanced with money. Teacher and organizer need money for their own livelihood, for the costs of the course and to maintain the center. Donation and generosity are parts of the spiritual practice. Donation and generosity helps to conserve the Buddhist doctrine and enables everyone to come in contact with. Please be aware that “Dana” can only be paid cash since we don’t accept debit or credit cards.
DANA “Dana” means gift and generosity. It encompasses the support of those who unselfishly and openly give their time and knowledge to teach the path of calm, insight and compassionate action. Dana is a way of thanksgiving: a spontaneous grateful offering which stems from the appreciation of that which was received. Such generosity cannot be forced. It simply opens when the tree of mindfulness blossoms and finally bears fruit.
