The act of generosity is a defining practice in the Buddhist tradition, and thus, RYIF welcomes support from friends and associates around the world to help realize our vision of providing all those who are interested with access to a living Buddhist tradition. RYIF creates this opportunity for the practice of generosity in order to foster the qualities of wisdom and compassion in our world. Now more than ever, due to the current global situation regarding the pandemic, RYIF needs your help in order to support RYI and its students by keeping tuition fees as low as possible. RYIF is a non-profit organization and its funding to RYI is used to cover the costs of running the courses and the institute. RYI’s goal is to make the tuition fees accessible to everyone.
