Participation Framework and Nature

This program is not a tour organized by a travel agency but an intimate, community-oriented, and spiritual journey. We visit sacred places together that are the sources of teachings—places where these teachings were born and remain alive today.

1. Nature of the Organization and the Bhávaná Association's Mission:

The Bhávaná Buddhist Association is not a travel agency but a civil organization whose goals are:

• Supporting mental and spiritual health,
• Preserving the cultural heritage of Eastern philosophies,
• Community development based on the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha and mindful, environmentally conscious living,
• deepening cultural diversity and understanding.

In this spirit, the Association organizes spiritual and community study trips and programs to facilitate deepening—not for commercial purposes but with the intention of raising awareness, self-knowledge, and learning.

The organization is conducted by a representative appointed by the Association, Attila András Sárdi, acting on its behalf as a volunteer.

2. Practical and Financial Conditions of Participation:

Participation involves several independent financial steps. The Bhávaná Association does not sell travel packages; costs are settled separately among the parties involved.

3. Cancellation Policy.

• The deposit is non-refundable.
• Refunds of advances paid to foreign partners are subject to their rules.
• Cancellation of flight tickets and visas is subject to the respective service provider’s regulations.
• Cancellation must be notified in writing to the organizer.
