It was a great experience to work and focus on myself, also a great opportunity to get to know people. I guess the whole place and the work depends fully on your attitude towards it. The place, food, routine and team is amazing, the only downside I'd say is the work is gender role based, so good luck organizing guys. Thank you for everything 🫶🏼

Thank you very much to the Sunims for this wonderful experience, this place gave me the peace and tranquility to my soul. I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful sunrise and stunning views every morning, as well as the sunset, the gorgeous starry sky and moon at night. All the meals were so delicious and healthy, I never thought there were so many options of vegetables dishes and so tasty. I really would have love the weather weren't that hot so I can enjoy more my time. Thank you for everything, my heart is so happy!!

My time at the Center was full of new experiences. Living with the sunims, eat healthy and delicious food, wake up very early, sleep very early and two times of the Center were all new experiences to me. Because it was summer the work felt a little bit more heavy due to the heat, but I always felt encouraged by the sunims and other volunteers. I met great people, I always felt welcomed and also the views were amazing too. I'm glad I had this experience!! Thank you for letting me stay for two weeks!!

My time at the temple was an incredible experience. While I was there I thought I wasn't learning much, but after it finished and I assimilate all, I must say I learnt so many things about myself ! I'm very grateful for the experience! Also, the food was amazing! 🫰

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

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.

I had an amazing time at the temple with wonderful people, relatively easy work and delicious food. There was minimal wifi, only in a specific area but it was nice to have a detox.

We are truly grateful for Sharnae's help and support. Just seeing her smile is like basking in the morning sun — full of positive energy. We're thankful to have her as a companion, someone who brings energy and light to those around her.
