Stay at a Buddhist Monastery, Learn From Monks

This is a Buddhist Monastery. The host is a Buddhist monk, and this is a different experience where the volunteers can Learn Buddhism, meditate, and explore the local culture as it is since the monastery is the heart of Sri Lankan culture. Moreover, we offer real, authentic Sri Lankan Food.

I am the coordinator and the founder of the project. I have been a university lecturer and a Buddhist monk for 25 years, and I have a lot of experience guiding the locals and foreigners in their lives in the Buddhist way. The other Buddhist monks are also masters of Buddhism and meditation and are academics. Apart from that, we have a professional staff. You will never feel like a tourist or an outsider while you are with us since we have experience hosting the people for more than 15 years at the Monastery.

I just spend one week at the monastery and I wish I could have stayed more ! I felt so welcomed by everybody, it is a beautiful way to understand more about Buddhism and meditation. I took part of different ceremonies and the monks also organised activities for the volunteers (meditation sessions, talks, visit of temples, pineapple garden, Ayurveda treatment...). Definitely a highlight of my trip in Sri Lanka! Thank you so much 🙏

I had the most amazing experience volunteering at the Buddhist monastery. I spent 5 days volunteering and it’s an experience I’ll never forget. We were welcomed with so much warmth and kindness from the moment we arrived. I was able to fully immerse myself in Sri Lankan culture and learn so much about Buddhism. I loved that everyday we got to experience new activities, Sunday school with the children was one of my favourite activities. It was amazing to see how much the Bhantes truly cared about their community and all the amazing work they do! Thank you for the amazing experience!

This was my favourite thing I did in Sri Lanka and the best way to fully immerse yourself into the true Sri Lankan culture and learn about their religion in the process! I learned so much about monks and Buddhism that I didn’t know before and we were welcomed into the temple with so much kindness!! The food and hospitality is amazing, the kind of experiences you get to do here you would never get on a ‘tourist’ route! Sri Lankan culture was so friendly and I really really enjoyed feeling so welcomed!

My 5 day long experience truly was a 10/10!! I learned so much about Buddhism, Sri Lanka‘s history and culture and loved all the different activities! We also had the opportunity to visit many temples and practise different forms of meditation, and we even visited a school where we could teach english to the children and a pineapple farm where we could pick our own pineapples! The food was great and the people very nice and helpful! Definetely recommend it :)
