How to apply
People on a low income can apply for this financial support as long as funds are available. Friends of the Sangha who earn enough pay into this fund for those who are less fortunate.
You are eligible if you have a minimum income and are unable to increase it. You should only apply if you are unable to work or find work due to disabilities or poor health, or students for example.
First, check that you are using all your energy to generate income.
Remember that your sadhana and daily life are not separate. The energy you give to attend retreats and satsangs is a sadhana in itself. It empowers you and makes you take responsibility. You work to meet your basic needs, and attending programmes is part of that, being a primary necessity of life.
Therefore, Support Friend is not intended for people who do not want to work, who spend their income on holidays and unnecessary purchases, and who then ask for support. In fact, you would be asking for support to fund your unnecessary purchases and holidays.
Be honest with yourself and your friends before applying for this service.
