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 🫶

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.

I loved my time here and I'll never forget it. The food was so delicious and healthy, and all of the sunims were so helpful and kind! The combination of the Center practice and mountain scenery, working in nature and waking up with the sun is a healing experience that leaves you feeling happier and more grounded. I was great to try a new routine different from the cities and better for my health, and I wish to return someday! ^^

Like the morning sun rising over the mountains, Robin is full of light and warmth.
She is a positive, diligent, energetic, and wise young woman.
Working with her was a joy — her uplifting and radiant spirit gently warmed both the land and our hearts, just like the soft rays of the morning sun.

I loved my stay at the centre. Our arrival was expected and we were assisted with directions and information re busses. We were given a lift from the bus stop which was most appreciated because it had been snowing and was very cold. We were warmly welcomed and orientated. I was privileged to be part of their community for 11 days. I enjoyed meeting other volunteers and working together. I would love to go back and am going to encourage others to be a volunteer in this amazing place. Comfortable accommodation and delicious food and a very caring group.

Susan and I loved being volunteers at the Center. The volunteer experience was so well organised. The communication before our arrival was excellent. On arrival you have a welcome meeting where everything is explained. The meals were wonderful, the Sunims were all very respectful and wonderful to work with. They were very helpful and very keen to teach us and make our stay a memorable one. Which it really was! The other highlight was learning the helpful technique of the Center. We also met such wonderful volunteers from around the world. Thanks to all who made this a very special experience.

Bernardo is always smiling. He is a young man full of health, vitality, and deep wisdom. His smile not only radiates confidence but also inspires those around him to cultivate their own self-assurance. I am truly grateful for Bernardo. At the meditation center, he approaches every task with a sense of responsibility and completes it with a smile, embodying mindfulness and dedication in every moment.
