Volunteering and life in the Center was absolutely charming. I have traveled before, but this experience is undoubtedly different and much deeper. I was very lucky to connect with such amazing people🥰 I learned a lot about myself through everything! the Center will have a place in me forever. I love the variety of work in different areas, you learn a little bit of everything and it's great!

I loved my volunteer experience. Everyone is very friendly, and there's a chance to learn about Buddhism. You'll have plenty of personal space and a welcoming place to socialize. The food is amazing, and there's a lot of positive energy. I would definitely recommend it to other backpackers.

The Center was one of the best volunteering experiences I've had. The people are lovely, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the work is really interesting (I mostly helped at the café). The place has such a unique and uplifting energy. I highly recommend it — and I'm actually going back soon for a second volunteering stay! ✨

Volunteering at the Center has been an exceptionally profound and enriching experience, one that has left an indelible mark on my heart and mind. I was enveloped in an atmosphere of tranquility, genuine warmth, and unwavering dedication to spiritual growth and community service. the Center itself is a sanctuary of peace, thoughtfully designed to foster contemplation and learning The tasks are really easy and there is always people around to help and the food is amazing. I wholeheartedly recommend volunteering at the Center to anyone seeking a truly rewarding experience
