Live and Learn with monks attached to a Buddhist monastery

My time at this temple stay was an unforgettable experience!!! I stayed for a week and no two days were the same! Bhante Wasa and all the monks I met are so nice and welcoming and they will give you so much insight on Sri Lankan culture and the Buddhism philosophy. I also got to spend a lot of time teaching English to children in different schools which was lovely. I also learned how to practice meditation and was lucky enough to go to typical the Center ceremonies. Aside from that you will also have incredible food, get to meet locals and have the best possible introduction to Sri Lanka ☺️

I had the most amazing time at the temple stay. everyone was so kind and welcoming to us. we got to eat at local food vendors and we taught english at two local schools. we had a private room which was a bonus as well. i would definitely recommend this experience to anyone who wants to learn about the sri lankan culture.

Staying with the monks was an unforgettable experience filled with kindness, warmth, and genuine hospitality—I truly didn't want to leave. They not only welcomed us with open hearts but also introduced us to local families, allowing us to immerse ourselves in their culture and traditions in the most authentic way. Tasting exotic fruits, sharing stories, and witnessing their way of life made this journey incredibly special, and I will always cherish these moments.

If you feel attracted to this experience, DO IT!! It was even better than I expected. We were welcomed so warmly, and I felt at home from the moment I was here. The monks are all so lovely. They are funny and really wise, so every time you learn something new while also having a really good time. You learn a lot about meditation. And you will also experience the local lifestyle. No day is the same. We went to many ceremonies, Sunday school, temples, farms, etc. It's such a unique experience, so I recommend it to everybody 🤍🧘‍♂️✨

Such an amazing experience! Bhante Wassa and Bhante Subodhi are such great people, they really take care of you. You spend your days visiting temples and ceremonies with them as well as hiking to beautiful places and being taught about meditation, Buddhism and Sri Lanka. It's the best introduction to Sri Lankan culture, with great authentic food and meeting local people. Go at the start of your trip as they give you all of their great insight on where to go. I can't recommend it enough!

I spent three days at the temple and it was lovely!! It's very laidback and there is not strict routine or schedule. One monk from my temple was overseas and the other had exams everyday, so a monk from another temple spent time with me instead. It was really interesting to learn about Buddhism and practice meditation with the monks. They were very kind. I also taught the young monks some English. I was left alone quite a lot, so bring a book! ◡̈

We had a very warm welcome at the tempel and were really well taken care of. Everybody was super friendly and it was very nice getting to know some fellow travellers. We were a little bit unlucly with the timing since there was no school (so we couldn't help with the teaching) and one of the monks went away for travel so the first days we were hoping to have a little bit more to do. But when we told this, they took us on a walk and arranged a day in the nearby the Center which was truly amazing and enriching in so many ways.

We had a good time. We did our voluntueering during the schoolvacations so we couldn't teach in the local schools. The first day there was not much to do, but after that we did mediation and were taken to another temple to practice meditation there and go to a dharmateaching. Everybody was really kind and wanted to help where possible. It's a really good way to learn more about Buddhism.
