11550, Sambuddhaloka Buddhist Center

This is a Buddhist Monastery. The host is a Buddhist monk, and this is a different experience where the volunteers can Learn Buddhism, meditate, and explore the local culture as it is since the monastery is the heart of Sri Lankan culture. Moreover, we offer real, authentic Sri Lankan Food.

I am the coordinator and the founder of the project. I have been a university lecturer and a Buddhist monk for 25 years, and I have a lot of experience guiding the locals and foreigners in their lives in the Buddhist way. The other Buddhist monks are also masters of Buddhism and meditation and are academics. Apart from that, we have a professional staff. You will never feel like a tourist or an outsider while you are with us since we have experience hosting the people for more than 15 years at the Monastery.

Passei 4 dias no mosteiro e foi muito bom para descansar, quarto confortavel e limpo. Cozinha perfeita e as comidas muito deliciosas ( o cafe da mnha é bem diferente com arroz e dhal) e muitas frutas tropicais a vontade. Os monges foram bem gentis. A unica dificuldade é que o clima local é muito quente e temos que usar roupas que cobrem todo o corpo....

It was an amazing stay! The facilities are modern and the food they serve is really rich and delicious! You actually don‘t have to work anything, if you want, you can help the English teacher at the local school nearby. The monks showed us some temples and we meditated together. The only thing I can critisize is that we could not learn about buddhism itself, the monk who organises this stay is currently not in Sri Lanka, and the other monks are really kind and willing to help but their English is bad, so they couldn‘‘t answer our questions or explain something about their culture.

Bhante Wasa, Bhante Vihari and Bhante Sara gave me such a warm welcome and I felt instantly welcome. I had the opportunity to learn a lot about life as a monk and about Buddhism.

Each day was filled with wonderful activities like cooking and dance classes, temple visits and volunteering at schools to support English lessons. The daily traditional meals were also absolutely delicious!

I’m truly grateful for this meaningful experience and can highly recommend the project to anyone. Thank you for this enriching experience!

I had an amazing time at Sambuddhaloka Buddhist Temple! We had lots of time to relax and a perfect amount of activities like visiting temples and a monk school to teach English, a cooking class and a house ceremony. Bhante Vihara and Siri showed us around in the village and took great care of us volunteers. We learned a lot about Buddhism and also a bit about meditation, which was interesting. I felt very welcome and had the best food!! It was a great start into my Sri Lanka trip. Thanks you!

I absolutely loved my stay at the temple. It is an amazing opportunity to learn about buddhism, to immerse into their life and the local culture, to be in touch with the local people and lots of kids. I had the opportunity to teach english (it was mostly playing games and speaking english to them) at the sunday school, government school and monk school, it was an unforgettable experience. Thanks to banthe Vihara and banthe Dammasara for their kindness and patience. I will miss Nanda and Seela´s big smile :)
