The Centre is a special place where you feel welcome from the start, it has a beautiful energy and it is perfect for those who want to immerse themselves in Buddhist philosophy. It's a beautiful community were you can learn many practises of meditation and free teachings. I learned many things, I helped in every aspect of the center managing, from gardening the beautiful garden to helping in the kitchen the amazing chef that cooks delicious food. You can read books freely and find an angle of paradise close to Sintra center and Lisbon. 🪷✨

This experience will completely change your perspective of life. Since the moment I arrive into the place you could completely feel the warmth, calm and love from the people here in the temple. Everybody made me feel as I was at home even without being Buddhist or knowing Portuguese at all. I can really say I made a new family. If you really want to make an improvement in your life or feel a bit lost, this program is perfect for you. I hope more people can have the opportunity to come and join this community as I'm sure you will have a radical change in your life's perspective.

My experience at the temple the organization exceeded all my expectations. I felt at home from the minute I arrived. Being there was like being part of a big family and it was a real privilege for me to collaborate with the team by sharing ideas and creating content for such a beautiful community. I am very grateful for this opportunity and I highly recommend to all the worldpackers to come and have a once in a lifetime experience. Thank you all !! :)

This experience was one of the best of my life. I have not only found a friendly and lovely community, I have found a new family. The job hours were 6 (if I finished my daily job I could take off early) and the activities were not hard (I was a housekeeper). Highly recommended.

I'm sure it's not possible to write in these lines how transformative this experience was for me. Drica, the first person I contacted via whatsapp, picked me up and I went to the train station, she is a beautiful person and an inspiring woman. I was welcomed with open arms by everyone at the organization center and I learned a lot from the courses and meditation practices, but also from my first real experience with sangha. Despite a lot of learning, the moment of detachment is very strong, but I am very happy to have had my first worldpackers experience with such special people. The work was v

It was my first volunteer experience in Portugal, at a Buddhist Temple, and it was amazing and very enriching. I had moments guided by the organization, reflection and learning about Buddhism and the activities of the work with the monks. I also participated in meditative walks and met locals and people from different nationalities. The meals were delicious and the environment very welcoming. In my free moments, I could visit the beautiful city of Sintra and some beaches in the region. It was an unforgettable experience, full of peace, connection and learning. I highly recommend this experience!

Among the most enriching and rewarding experiences I’ve had!
I’m leaving with a full heart! It’s an incredible place and a very beautiful community.
I felt comfortable and welcomed from the start; the tasks are by no means overwhelming, and you meet very kind people; the food is also exquisite!
Additionally, I was able to learn about the organization of Buddhism and meditate.
The people at the temple invite you to participate in the activities, but they won’t force you to do anything.
Most live according to the notable values of Buddha, so they are enlightened people, always willing to help.
Without a doubt I’ll return 💛

It was my first experience as a volunteer and it could not have been better! ❤️ I was very happy to participate and to get to know the work of the organization. From the first moment, I was very well received, with a lot of kindness, organization and warmth. It was a very special and enriching experience, which I certainly intend to repeat. I thank the whole team for the opportunity, for the kindness and for making me feel so welcome. I highly recommend this experience for anyone who also wants to contribute, learn and experience something different. Thank you very much for everything! 🙏✨

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 :)
