The experience at the Center has been one of the best in my life. From the first moment I arrived, I was amazed by the beauty and calmness of the place. The monks are kind and understanding, and the work is enjoyable, with many areas where you can contribute. I worked in the kitchen and really enjoyed it. I also loved the Gyalwang Q&A in English and the moments of Talking with the monks whenever I met them. But above all, what made this experience truly special were the wonderful bonds I created with the other volunteers. I feel deeply grateful and will always carry this experience in my heart.

Volunteering at the Center was truly one of the most rewarding and peaceful experiences I've ever had. The environment is incredibly calm, and even though I'm not Buddhist, I found the optional the Center sessions to be a great way to slow down and clear my mind. The work schedule was really well organized. It never felt stressful, and there was plenty of free time to relax, explore the nearby villages, or hang out with friends. I appreciated the balance between helping out and having time to enjoy the area. I'm really grateful I got the chance to volunteer here and would definitely return
