Membership

The Dhargyey Buddhist Centre is a registered, non profit, charitable trust. The aim of The Trust is to provide authentic Buddhist teachings in the tradition of Venerable Geshe Ngawang Dhargyey. No charges are made for teachings whatsoever. The living expenses of the three Tibetans as well as the costs of running the Centre are funded entirely by donation.

Applications for membership must be accompanied by a signed, written request to join, which includes contact details. Members are entitled to receive newsletters, to attend board meetings and to attend and vote at General Meetings. The Trust encourages those who regularly attend the teachings to join.

Funding is primarily through donation. Regular automatic payments are encouraged, and account details are available from the treasurer.

Members can participate in the Centre's decision-making and are kept well informed of the Centre's activities through the quarterly newsletter.

We have two levels of membership, both of which include the Newsletter:
Standard membership: individuals $45, families $70, per annum
We also have a subscription for Newsletter only. For one year:
Within New Zealand - NZ$7.50
Australia & South Pacific - NZ$10
East Asia (Singapore, Japan, Taiwan etc) & North America - NZ$12

You can also help the Centre by making a regular monthly donation (a pledge) towards the Lama and party's household expenses or by donating whatever you can, whenever you can. Donations are tax deductible.
