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.

An incredible experience to learn more about Buddhism, meditation, and Sri Lanka as a whole! They were so welcoming and offered really nice accommodation along with amazing food!

We were taught everything we needed to know and supported to ask any questions we had, making this a perfect opportunity whether you’re new or already familiar with Buddhism and meditation.

We even got to tour around to see a bunch of temples, meet locals, and I got to teach English to the little monks at their school which was so much fun!

I couldn’t recommend this experience more!

My experience at the the temple was mind blowing.
The temple is surrounded by exotic nature, yet close to the city. You will have time to immerge yourself within the local culture, the bouddhist life and cults, but even more especially with yourself.
I was planning on staying for a week but I ended up spending almost two weeks there.
The place is so peaceful, meals are delicious and generous.
Last but not least, the monks are really welcoming, opened for discussion and will guide you all day for your Buddhist discovery journey.
I will come back.
Thank you every one. I am forever grateful.

I spent one special week at the temple here. Everyone I met was so kind and hospitable and went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and comfortable. I learned so much here about meditation, Buddhism, and the local way of life in Sri Lanka. I felt really immersed in the community and culture and could not ask for a better experience. I was blown away by everyone’s kindness and willingness to share their life with us. Every day was something new and exciting! Thank you!!

Staying here was a wonderful experience. The hosts and everyone else we met there were very welcoming, generous, and kind. They brought us along with them to be immersed in Sri Lankan culture and went out of their way to show us unique things about their beautiful country. I truly appreciate the peace and learning I experienced on this stay!

I spent just four days at the monastery with the monks.
On Sunday, I had the opportunity to go to the Buddhist school, where there were lots of children to talk to and teach them English.
I visited a beautiful temple and enjoyed the village and the surrounding nature.
In the evening, I had excellent meditation.
The food was also delicious... authentic Sri Lankan cuisine.
I truly enjoyed the peace and relaxation.
Highly recommended.
