Question juridique clé
Whether the foundation qualifies for tax exemption for public or charitable purposes despite charging course fees and receiving donations for teachers.
Solution extraite
Yes. The foundation acts altruistically; the course fees mainly cover lodging, meals, and operating costs, while the meditation activity itself remains the core charitable purpose.
Motifs extraits
The court distinguished the spiritual mission from the self-supporting accommodation/board component. Charging self-cost prices and receiving voluntary donations for teachers did not turn the foundation into an earnings- or self-help-oriented entity.
