This was an incredible experience that exposed me to the brilliant locals and gave full-on exposure to meditation and Buddhist practices. The guidance and care I received was perfect and it was truly incredible to receive direct guidance regarding meditative practices. Tasks involved cleaning the temple or teaching English and was very flexible to accommodate to the guest. A short, but life enhancing experience.

This was my first Worldpackers experience. Everyone was really welcoming and the Homestay was nice. Ankit and Na took care of me and prepared yummy meals. The meditation was great too, learned a lot from Guru Ji. It's more self-guided, but it was the beauty of it. This way you can learn a lot about yourself. :) volunteering part is not really intense, I did some cleaning and helped around the temple. If you want to learn about mindfulness it's a great place to start. There is always place for smaller improvements, but overall I'm happy with this experience. Thank you guys!

I enjoyed my time at Buon Ma Thuot with Ankit and the guru at the temple. The dorm accommodation is comfortable, food offered is tasty and the guesthouse is a relaxing place to be. The temple (8km away from the accommodation) is a beautiful space, but the time there is long and lacking structure. It is aimed at beginners with basic tuition, but many beginner meditators cannot practice all day; you need to build to it. My time there was mostly self guided which I think many would struggle with. I had a good time but only because of my previous meditation and retreat experience to shape my day.

I stayed at the project for two weeks, though i would recommend you stay for one. the volunteering itself is minimal but you are expected to be at the temple from 8-4, mostly meditating. that aspect of the experience for me was not always positive but the monk and temple community are very lovely.
The home stay itself is beautiful and i was treated as family. Na and Ankit are creating something special for travellers and the food was delicious.
This is a new program and I am grateful to have been part of it. they are receptive to feedback and i think it will only get better from here.
