While it’s a great cultural and religious experience, the work can be quite exhausting… And remaining in silence can be challenging. But there are things we need to experience in order to mature.

Staying with the Sunims at Buddha Forest was such a lovely experience. They were incredibly kind and welcoming, and we really appreciated how open they were to our questions. It was special to get a little insight into their way of life and spend time in such a peaceful place. We helped in the kitchen, on the farm, and with different organizational tasks. There was also plenty of free time to enjoy the mountains, listen to the birds, and simply slow down. We left with lovely memories and hope to continue learning about the Center the future. 🙏🏻

Our stay at Buddha Forest was a truly peaceful and meaningful experience. 🌿 The Sunims were warm and welcoming, and we enjoyed helping with different tasks around the center. Surrounded by beautiful nature, we had the chance to slow down, learn about Buddhist life, and disconnect from everyday routines. We're very grateful for this special experience and the wonderful hospitality! 🙏

Buddha Forest felt less like a place I visited and more like a place that quietly stayed with me. Between the mountains, the silence, the shared meals, and the simple rhythm of each day, I found myself becoming quieter inside. Life there moves slowly enough for you to notice what you usually rush past: the wind in the trees, the morning mist drifting between the mountains, the small gestures of kindness, and the peace that comes when you simply allow yourself to be present. I left deeply grateful—for the people, for the silence, and for the gentle way this place brought me back to myself.

This place became much more than a volunteering experience for me. Surrounded by nature, I had the opportunity to work, meditate and learn from Sunim. I arrived meditating for around 20 minutes, and after three months I was able to meditate up to four hours a day something I never expected. I also discovered that work can be medicine when done with presence and care. I'm leaving deeply grateful for this beautiful experience🙏🌿

Aleksandra is an impressive and truly remarkable person to work with. She is highly focused and organized in her work, and she quickly and effectively masters new techniques, practical skills, and tools.
What makes her especially remarkable is her deep inner maturity and strong ability to regulate herself. She consistently engages with the team and her surroundings with a calm, clear, and wise presence.
Working with her is not only efficient and reliable, but also brings a sense of positive
