The sunims made you feel so welcome. They were open for questions which made you learn even more. The work was really peaceful and only a few hours a day. After which they provided you the most healthy meals. Thankful for this experience 🫶

The place is incredible for its calm and beauty. The Sunims were very welcoming and kind to everyone at the temple. I was looking for a new and enriching experience, and I found it here. I highly recommend it. Thank you again to the Sunims for their hospitality and kindness. I will gladly come back.

Volunteering at the Buddha Forest the Center was a deeply enriching experience that fostered personal and social growth. I worked in farming and assigned to renovate the woodworking area, developing practical skills and strong connections. The host also provided the Center courses and personal guidance, which supported my inner development and deepened my self-awareness. Living in a mindful community taught me the value of presence, cooperation, and simplicity. that's truly a special place to live, learn and practice the Center according to Buddhism principles. It's a school of life

Buddha replied

He is a mature and steady person, reliable in all situations. With broad technical skills, he handles tools and equipment with ease. His wisdom shows in how he solves problems thoughtfully. What truly stands out is his emotional intelligence—he listens, empathizes, and connects with others. A rare blend of skill, insight, and compassion makes him truly outstanding.
