Please read this disclaimer carefully before using Namo Buddha at https://www.namobudha.org/. By accessing or using this website, you agree to the terms described below.
1. General information only
Namo Buddha is an independent, non-commercial reference portal. All content — including event listings, teacher profiles, monastery information, teaching descriptions, and pilgrimage guides — is provided for general informational purposes only.
Nothing on this site constitutes official religious instruction, spiritual advice, medical advice, legal advice, or any other form of professional guidance. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any religious organisation, lineage, monastery, or teacher listed on this site.
2. Accuracy of information
We make every reasonable effort to ensure that the information on this site is accurate and up to date. However, we cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or currentness of any content. Event details (dates, venues, teachers, fees) in particular may change without notice. Always verify event information directly with the organiser before making travel or booking arrangements.
Teacher profiles, monastery listings, and teaching descriptions are compiled from publicly available sources. Errors or outdated information may exist. If you find an error, please contact us and we will correct it promptly.
3. AI-generated content
Some event listings on this site are discovered and imported using AI-powered tools (Google Gemini and/or Anthropic Claude) that search the web for publicly available event information. While we review imported content before publishing, AI systems can make errors — including incorrect dates, venues, or descriptions. Such events are marked as drafts pending review.
We accept no liability for inaccuracies in AI-discovered content. Always confirm event details with the hosting organisation directly.
4. External links
This site contains links to external websites including monastery websites, teacher organisations, event pages, and booking platforms. These links are provided for convenience only. We do not endorse, control, or take responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or accuracy of any external websites. Visiting external links is at your own risk.
5. No endorsement
The inclusion of any teacher, monastery, organisation, event, or teaching on Namo Buddha does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or verification of that person, organisation, or teaching. We list information about all four schools of Tibetan Buddhism and the Bon tradition without preference or sectarian bias.
We encourage practitioners to exercise their own discernment when choosing teachers, retreats, or organisations. Seek guidance from qualified teachers and trusted members of your community.
6. User-submitted content
Users may submit events, centre listings, teacher profile updates, and other content through forms on this site. Submitted content is reviewed before publication. We reserve the right to edit, decline, or remove any user-submitted content at our sole discretion.
By submitting content, you confirm that you have the right to share it and that it does not infringe on the rights of any third party.
7. Donations
Donations made to Namo Buddha support the operational costs of running this non-commercial portal (hosting, APIs, and development). Donations are voluntary and non-refundable. We are not a registered charity — donations do not qualify for tax deductions unless separately confirmed in writing.
8. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Namo Buddha and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of this site or reliance on any information contained herein — including but not limited to loss of travel bookings, registration fees paid to event organisers, or spiritual or personal harm.
9. Changes to this disclaimer
We may update this disclaimer from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
