There is no charge for either the teaching, or   for room and board. All Vipassana courses worldwide are run on a   strictly voluntary donation basis. At the end of your course, if   you have benefited from the experience, you are welcome to donate   for the coming course, according to your volition and your means.   How much are teachers paid to conduct courses?    Teachers receive no payment, donations or other material benefit.   They are required to have their own private means of support. This   rule means that some of them may have less time for teaching, but   it protects students from exploitation and it guards against   commercialism. In this tradition, teachers give Vipassana purely   as a service to others. All they get is the satisfaction of   seeing people's happiness at the end of ten days.Do I have to be a Buddhist to practice Vipassana?    People from many religions and no religion have found the   meditation course helpful and beneficial. Vipassana is an   art of living, a way of life. While it is the essence of   what the Buddha taught, it is not a religion; rather, it   is the cultivation of human values leading to a life which   is good for oneself and good for others.  <a href="http://www.dhamma.org/en/qanda.shtml" target="_blank">http://www.dhamma.org/en/qanda.shtml</a></blockquote>
