Life is full of surprises, and this experience truly surprised me. It was my first time in a Buddhist the Center. I learned a lot about Buddhism and the Center here, meditations are mostly in French, but they offer in English as well. I am very happy that I came here to volunteer, and I made many wonderful international friendships. I highly recommend this place for volunteering — it is very peaceful and beautifully isolated from the outside world. Thank you for everything the Center!!

This is a Buddhist the Center dedicated to the practice of the Center and a Buddhist way of life. I truly enjoyed my time there while contributing to construction and renovation work. Being surrounded by a beautiful and serene landscape, practicing the Center, and sharing this experience with an amazing group of people and volunteers made my time at the center deeply meaningful and memorable. Thank you so much.
