2012 Meditation Programs

Registration fee for retreats and workshops covers food, lodging, and other expenses. The fees are intentionally kept low to make the teaching available to as many people as possible.  Retreat fee is a major source of operating income for Sinh Thuc.  However, no one will be turned away from any of the programs for lack of funds.

All teaching is offered free of charge based on the Buddhist tradition.  All teachers and staff are volunteers and do not receive salary from the Center.  Donation (dana) to the teachers at the end of the retreat and workshop is voluntary and encourage to support the continuation of this wonderful tradition.

Your donation to help keeping the registration fees low and support the various costs of our center are much needed and greatly appreciated.  You can make a donation by sending your check to Sinh Thuc Mindful Living Society at P.O. Box 1223, Herndon, VA 20172 or donate on-line via Network for good by clicking the button on the right (4.75% processing fee will be deducted by the Network For Good organization).  Sinh Thức Mindful Living Society is a Non-profit organization.  All contribution are tax deductible according to IRS regulation.  Thank you very much.
