Bodhi College
Appealing to your generosity - a letter from our teachers 🙏🧡Dear friend, At Bodhi College we offer a programme unique in the dharma world - rigorous study rooted in the early teachings of the Buddha, which also explores their relevance in our lives and the world today. For us as teachers it is a privilege to offer these programmes, and your participation and appreciative responses from around the globe have been an inspiration to us all.As you know, Bodhi College is a small organisation with two part time, very hard-working staff members and a group of dedicated trustees who generously offer their advice and support. Priceless volunteers ensure the smooth running of our residential courses. They enable us to keep our course fees as low as possible, while still offering bursaries to students that require financial assistance.Like many dharma centres, we have found that post pandemic registrations for our in-person offerings are slow to recover, and online numbers have also declined. Despite our low overheads we run at a loss and face a significant deficit this year. This is mainly because we made a conscious decision - despite lower enrollment numbers - to continue to offer our wide range of specialty programmes. These, such as in-person study retreats and extended programmes, are more demanding on our resources than regular retreats.As the teacher body, we appeal to your generosity to support Bodhi College so that we may continue to operate and offer the same breadth and caliber of programmes we do.Your gift, of any amount, is much appreciated and will make a difference.With gratitude,The Bodhi College teaching facultyAkincano, Christina, Christoph, Jaya, John, Martine, Stephen, and YukaTo donate, click here: https://bit.ly/3Gp1QFh ...
