Charging for Booked Visits

We do have to make a charge for guided visits. Some Buddhist places of worship are run by monks and nuns, supported financially by lay Buddhists. These monastics, relying on donations, may not need to earn a living. In our tradition, Triratna, we do not have monks or nuns. Whether ordained or not, we all need to earn an ethical living and the teachers leading our visits are paid a modest hourly rate.  Payment for visits also contributes to the charity’s running costs. 

The Buddhist Centre depends upon generosity. However, we will not turn anyone away for lack of money. Please let us know when booking if you need to negotiate a lower rate.
