Membership Terms & Conditions

Thank you for your interest in becoming a Bodhisattva Kadampa Buddhist Centre (Bodhisattva KBC)
member. We have three levels of membership as outlined on the sign up page. 

Please read the below information carefully as you need to acknowledge that you’ve read and accepted it at the time that you sign up for your membership. If you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

What does my membership NOT include?
Your membership does NOT include attendance to off-site special events (such as public talks with
visiting teachers) and off-site retreats, however discounts apply to most of these events. Joint-Centre
events are not included as part of your membership.

How do I sign up for membership?
You can register to become a Bodhisattva KBC member anytime by using our online form. The sign-up
process is easy. You will need to fill out a form and enter your credit card information in order to set
up automatic monthly payments.

Can I only sign up online?
No. If you prefer, you can call us on 0477 044 607 and someone will help you sign up for membership.

When does my membership start?
You can use your membership to attend classes and sign up for upcoming events right away, as soon
as you register.

Can I use my membership at other Kadampa Centres?
No. Bodhisattva KBC is part of a global organisation and we have many Kadampa Centres throughout Australia
and worldwide. Each of our Centres are independent registered not-for-profit organisations and/or
charities so your membership only covers classes and courses directly affiliated and organised by Bodhisattva KBC.

Can other people use my membership?
No. Membership benefits apply to one adult member only and are not transferable.

Is there a minimum sign up period?
A minimum membership period of three months applies to all new members.

How do I cancel my membership?
Note that a minimum sign-up period of three months applies to all members. If you wish to cancel
your membership any time after the initial three month period, please send an email
to info@meditateincanberra.org with two weeks of notice. Should you wish to re-start a centre
membership any time after this, you will be required to sign up again for a minimum period of three
months.

Additional Notes for Foundation Program & Teacher Training Program Students
Thank you for your enrolment to attend the Foundation Program (FP) run by Bodhisattva KBC. When students join FP they are required to become a member of our Centre and maintain the Centre membership while they are enrolled on the study program. The
student benefits by having access FP classes as well as all of the usual classes and discounts
that members have access to, and the regular monthly payments help to support our Centre and
associated branch classes. Every student maintains this membership payment regardless of whether
the FP classes run every week or not.
