If you want to immerse yourself into Buddhism, this is the place to be! You can participate in almost everything that they offer at the center, so it is a great opportunety to learn more about Buddhism and practice the project. However, the work during daytime can be a little bit physical demanding (not difficult), so it is not always you have the energy to participate in as much as you want. The temple and its location is absolutely stunning. The people you meet (both monks/ nuns and volunteers) are all very friendly. The dorms are big, 6 or 9 bunkbeds in quite small rooms, so pack light.

My experience as a volunteer at the project was truly enriching. I discovered a culture that was completely new to me and connected with amazing people from all over the world. Although the tasks can be quite demanding and the workday can get a bit tiring, at least in my experience as part of household team (6 hours of work spread out between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.), the people, the surroundings, and the sense of peace and calm make it all worthwhile. Highly recommended!

My time at the project was truly amazing. It was a few weeks of hard work, yes, but also full of learning, joy, fun, and a deep connection with enjoyment and nature. The place is very well organized: tasks are clearly explained, everything is tidy and clean, and things flow smoothly. I'm also leaving with beautiful memories of a wonderful group of volunteers, with whom I shared unforgettable moments. I highly recommend this volunteering opportunity to anyone looking for a meaningful and enriching experience. Many thanks to the Buddhist Center for such a warm and welcoming experience.

My time in the project was unforgettable. I'm very glad for this opportunity, the group of volunteers is huge so is very good to know people and make new friends. I really appreciate how we emerged in the buddhist teachings, if we are open to that. The cafe was very busy, we really work hard, but i learned a lot about this work and the team also was good, so the time was good as well. The surroundings are full of nature and i was very impressed with the beauty in the lake district. Walking in the woods is always a good idea. Thank you so much!

I spent three weeks in the kitchen area. Without a doubt, both the coordinator and the people I was with were fantastic. In the kitchen the main task is cutting and cleaning, but being with more people makes it very enjoyable. Everything you are asked to do is easy to do and they are always very nice. My three weeks were very short and I was very sad to leave. I can't put anything to improve, I learnt a lot about Buddhism and the people are very open and friendly. I highly recommend going and I will never forget this trip 🤩🤩

MKMC was my first volunteering experience on Worldpackers—and truly unforgettable. Nestled in a magical forest near the coast, the project felt like something from a fairy tale. I initially applied for the art studio but was placed in the café, which I absolutely loved. The environment was fun, dynamic, and very social. The highlight was meeting an incredible group of volunteers from around the world and forming lasting friendships. I planned to stay two weeks but extended—I simply didn't want to leave!

I'm very grateful for the experience at the project, where I was very well received. It is a beautiful place with a strong connection with nature. I made friends with people from different countries and practiced English and Spanish. The work was divided with breaks and time to meditate and participate in classes about Buddhism, where I was able to grow spiritually. The vegetarian meals were all plentiful and delicious. I would like to thank all my fellow volunteers for the harmonious interactions, and also Tsalden and Susan for their attention to me. I recommend Manjurshi to everyone.

Thank you so much for an amazing experience and for letting me extended my stay for another two weeks :) It's a beautiful and peaceful place, with a large forest and a beach just a short walk away. All of the staff and other volunteers have been lovely. I've volunteered in the café and garden, and next week I'll be helping in the kitchen. They also offer short the project classes and longer teachings, which are a great experience for anyone looking to learn more. Thanks again! Henry
