Questão jurídica principal
Whether the foundation qualifies for tax exemption for public or charitable purposes despite charging course fees and receiving donations for teachers.
Decisão extraída
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.
Fundamentação extraída
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.
