The course fee covers the organizational expenses of the seminar.
The donation to the Buddhistisches Haus contributes to the costs of meals (including beverages), the cook’s compensation, and general operating expenses. Please keep in mind that the Buddhistisches Haus is funded entirely through donations and relies on this support to maintain the facility.
Our seminar teachers also depend largely on donations. According to the Buddhist principle of selfless giving (Dāna), your contribution is not only an expression of appreciation for the teaching but also a direct support of the teacher’s livelihood and the continuation of the Dharma.
