Financial Basis
The Buddhist gesture (mudra) of generosity
The Centre is a not-for-profit charity. Our aim is to make Buddhism and meditation accessible to everyone, which is why we keep charges for classes at a minimum and where possible we ask for a donation rather than a fixed charge.
Centre workers receive a low ‘support’ wage and most teachers give their time for free.
