I spent 3 weeks and loved my time at Kadampa. The temple is beautiful and the setting is very peaceful. Thank you to everyone involved but a special thank you to Marta for always being there for any problems or questions. The vibe is great, everyone I met were so nice and I'm not vegetarian but the food is delicious. The work was always fair as well. I made friends for life and look forward to seeing everyone again. Thanks so much, I highly recommend this place.

I had a great experience with the community. I met some fantastic people from all around the world and more importantly really enjoyed the experience of living alongside people studying and practicing Buddhism at this beautiful temple and retreat. For me this was an introduction to the Kadampa branch of Buddhism and all the opportunities to attend meditation sessions and presentations were greatly appreciated. I worked mostly in housekeeping and in the laundry, often with Carmen who was great fun. Thank you Martha for this wonderful experience.

Noemí volunteered at our center, during which time she proved to be a very pleasant, willing, and committed person. She was always kind and respectful to her colleagues, and her sociable nature fostered an excellent work environment. She performed her tasks admirably, demonstrating responsibility, initiative, and a great capacity for adaptation. Her contribution was very positive, and we greatly value her time at our center.

I had the most wonderful experience at the community—it exceeded all my expectations. I met amazing people who made me feel truly welcome from the very beginning. The environment is incredibly peaceful, and the sessions are extremely helpful for personal development. The daily tasks are simple and well organized, and the food is both delicious and abundant. Meeting other volunteers and residents was the most valuable part of my experience. A big thank you to Martha, Camila, and Yurlen. I left with my heart full of joy and memories that will stay with me forever.

Special thanks to Arturo for making us feel so welcome and creating such a beautiful energy!!<3 Almost everyone spoke English as well, but I recommend learning as much Spanish beforehand as you can to feel more connected to people at Kadampa & because it's a good way to test your skills and learn more! The tasks were as I expected, chill cleaning activities. It's easy n simple but repetitive. I loved being in the peace of the countryside <3 We had so much fun with the other volunteers, playing cards together etc, vibes were very good!! Also great for spending time alone & reflecting :)

It has been a wonderful and incredibly deep experience at the Kadampa temple in Malaga. Everyone welcomed me in such a sweet way, and I was also lucky enough to be at the temple the same days that a special event about how to control your mind was taking place. I've learnt so so much and met fantastic people, I'd love to go back

I had a wonderful week at the Kadampa Buddhist center. They welcome you very warmly, and I felt right at home. Even though I eat meat, the food was really good. The place is clean, the people are kind, the kitchen is well equipped, and the rooms are excellent. The tasks to be done are not difficult. I had a wonderful week, thanks also to the volunteers with whom we shared unique experiences. Yurlen is very kind and helpful. The only thing I didn't like was that the shifts basically take up the whole day.

I spent two wonderful weeks volunteering at the Kadampa Center in Málaga. I helped with olive picking and gardening, which I really enjoyed. Everything was well organized, and the vegetarian food was amazing. The people were warm and inspiring, and the atmosphere peaceful — perfect for daily meditation. The center is set in a beautiful valley with mountains and fruit trees. I truly loved my stay and can highly recommend this place for anyone seeking a meaningful and serene experience.

It is a beautiful place and I met some lovely people. It is a good opportunity to practice spanish. Yurlén, the volunteer coordinator would do anything to help you. The work schedule is very clear (6 hours a day, broken up into 2 hour chunks). Thanks for having me and see you again!

I loved my experience at the Buddhist temple. It is such a beautiful place with caring people. Also the food is amazing ! You have a chance to take time for yourself or hang out with other volunteers as you wish. The tasks were quite chill as we were many volunteers at the same time so we could divide the tasks between us all. So, all in all if you're looking for a safe place and want to learn more about Buddhism and living with a community, I highly recommend this experience.

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
