Stay in a Buddhist Monastery with Monks

Germany

5

I really recommend the temple stay. It was a unique experience i will never forget. I couldn't imagine that there is a better way to get more insights into the culture and to get in contact with the locals. They always had a great program for us to fill our day. Espacially teaching in the school was really nice for me, but also their interest to learn us something about the buddishm.

I had a wonderful experience at the monastery. All the monks were incredibly welcoming and kind, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere. During my stay, I followed part of their daily routine, participating in various events and meditations. We also had many interesting talks about buddhism. Whenever you have any need they are very accommodating of it. I can recommend this place to anyone looking to immerse themselves in authentic Sri Lankan culture, beyond the usual tourist trail.

It was great experience if you want to practise meditation and get to know more about Buddism and Sri Lankan culture. Also you get the chance to meet a lot of great people. They made me feel so welcome.

Volunteering here has been an amazing experience! The house is very beautiful and the family is friendly, the tasks at the temple are fun (especially Sunday school with the children) and the host filled the whole day up with different activities to engage with locals and learn about buddhism. The food is tasty and they give you all the food you want (and more haha). I 100% recommend this experience!

This was a really lovely experience. The family welcomed me with open arms and provided a lovely place to stay alongside some delicious foods. The animals (dogs, cats and cows) wer also a bonus! Bante the monk was amazing in showing us all across Sri Lanka, different temples and Sri Lankan culture. He also showed us how to practise meditation - this experience is mostly following the monk around to his various activities - for example one day we went to a disabled school to see the children there and one day we went to the south coast and stayed in a hotel! Everyone is so friendly! Thank you

Passei 4 dias no mosteiro e foi muito bom para descansar, quarto confortavel e limpo. Cozinha perfeita e as comidas muito deliciosas ( o cafe da mnha é bem diferente com arroz e dhal) e muitas frutas tropicais a vontade. Os monges foram bem gentis. A unica dificuldade é que o clima local é muito quente e temos que usar roupas que cobrem todo o corpo....

Realizamos esta actividad en nuestra primera semana en Sri Lanka, ¡y no pudimos haber tomado una mejor elección! Esta experiencia nos permitió ser parte de la cultura local, a través del día a día del Bahnte responsable del monasterio donde nos quedamos. Las atenciones del Bahnte y los voluntarios fueron siempre buenas, y nos daban actividades dependiendo de los compromisos que tuvieran. Una de ellas fue participar en una ceremonia budista en una casa de locales, y nos hicieron sentir como en casa. El voluntariado en las escuelas fue maravilloso, y los docentes siempre buscarán ayudarte.
