RIM is inspired by the spirit of Dana, an ancient Pali language word that means generosity of heart, mind, and action. Dana promotes a healthier, selfless, caring, and grateful world.
Traditionally, Buddhist nuns and monks offer teachings in the spirit of generosity, while the community supports the teachers and the center to the level of their ability. In this same spirit, RIM and its teachers do not charge any fees or tuition and are supported by the community.
As an alternative to a pay-for-service economics model, RIM embraces a generosity-based model. The RIM community is a living gift made possible by the appreciation, goodwill, and generosity of the kind people inspired to give financial support, volunteer, teach, and support one another.
RIM is a 501(c3) non-profit organization.
