Many old students have already expressed willingness to offer interest-free loans to help secure a permanent centre. We are now inviting old students to pledge either a loan or a donation, so we can clearly understand the funds available and determine the price range of properties we can confidently consider. 

Donations from old students form the foundation of our current savings and reflect the community’s long-standing support for a permanent Vipassana centre in Ireland. Regular monthly donations are especially valuable, as they demonstrate to the bank that we have a reliable income to support ongoing costs and mortgage repayments. 

We are working with a bank lending advisor to prepare all necessary paperwork and assess how much we can borrow to support the purchase of a permanent centre. Any borrowing will be carefully balanced with the need to ensure long-term financial sustainability, so the centre can operate securely within its means and continue to serve students for generations to come.
