Tuition and Fees
It has always been a tradition in Buddhism to offer something in gratitude for receiving the teachings. Making offering, whether to beggars or High Lamas is to the students benefit as the practice of Generosity. What or how much you offer is not the main consideration. What is important is the intention in offering and that the student not receive a teaching empty handed.
Sharing the Merit Even if they give just one cent, people should have the motivation of putting a drop of water in the ocean. A drop of water on its own will easily evaporate, but in the ocean it will always remain. There are many ways you can contribute to WelcomingBuddhist.
The reason for this is, practicing generosity in gratitude for the teaching recieved creates an auspicious link to the teaching and teacher. That being said, there is no set course fee and no one will be excluded from attending the shedra for reason of a lack of funds.
