Additional Information
  • Fees are expressed in US funds.
  • Ordained Sangha receive a 25% reduction in all fees, except the registration fee, and deposit amount.
  • Students may arrive one day before their course begins and stay one day after their course ends. Those who register for more than one course may stay without extra charge during the days between the courses in which they are registered. Those attending the June course may arrive two days before the course begins. We need to have time between changes of room occupancy, for cleaning.
  • The full amount for all the courses students have registered in should be paid upon arrival. Deposits will be applied to the final course in which a student is registered. For example, if a student registers in two courses and cancels the second course after their arrival, all advance payments for their second course fees will be refunded, but their deposit will not be refunded. If a student cancels a second course before their arrival, the deposit will be applied to reduce the fees due upon arrival for the one course in which they are still registered.
  • Any student who is unable to attend a full Philosophy course must ask for permission from the teacher of the  course, for partial attendance, which can not be less than two weeks. Only students attending full Philosophy courses or the Retreat are eligible for on-campus accommodation and meals.
  • Please see the registration page for more details about registration.
Payments
Your on-line registration should be accompanied by a $100 US deposit. This deposit is non-refundable and is applied first to your registration fee, then to the fees for the last course in which you are registered. The full amount can be paid upon arrival, either in dollars or by Nepali cash equivalent. Or you may pay with: our MasterCard/Visa machine in the office, through PayPal on-line or, in advance of your arrival, by bank ("wire") transfer. Since mail delivery is not reliable, we ask you not to send cheques through the mail. If you use a cheque to pay when you arrive, you must be registered in at least a one-month course, since international cheques can take a month or more to clear. Please do not send any cash in the mail! It is illegal, and makes us vulnerable to having our mail routinely opened, if cash is ever discovered in our mail.
