Volunteering at the project Buddhist Temple was unforgettable. From the start, I felt warmly welcomed by everyone, including monks and fellow volunteers. I helped with household tasks and summer festival preparations. I also had the opportunity to learn about Buddhism and participate in some classes. The temple, surrounded by nature, was peaceful and inspiring. Sharing this experience with wonderful people made me feel truly part of a caring community 😊

I loved my time at the project! The grounds and meditations were lovely, but my favorite part was the people. I was in the kitchen, where the main job was cutting vegetables and cleaning. I worked with Buddhist monks, nuns, and volunteers from all over the world! The volunteer culture is very positive and social, the volunteers I met were by far the highlight of my trip. Things to note: Volunteers aren't told their assigned departments until arrival Art studio volunteers work an 5 extra hours weekly (not advertised on worldpackers) Work hours were 9–5 with breaks totaling two hours

Volunteering at the project was a wonderful experience for me, I feel grateful for it 🙏🏼 I learned about Buddhism and felt the love, kindness, and respect all around from the Buddhist community which inspired me ❤️ I also met lovely volunteers, shared beautiful moments together, and each one added something to me ❤️ My volunteering role was in the café, from 10 to 5 including a one-hour break. The work was diverse, light, and fulfilling for me, and the atmosphere was very good. One thing worth mentioning there were some changes in the volunteer role 2 weeks before the annual summer festival.
