There is no need to be a Buddhist—or to become one—to join us. However, during your time here, you will have the opportunity to live within a community of modern Buddhist practitioners and experience its active and respectful way of life.
This includes embracing a virtuous lifestyle by refraining from harmful or negative actions, such as killing, stealing, abusive behavior, noise disturbance, or the use of alcohol and illegal substances. These guidelines help create a safe and supportive environment for everyone.
With this shared intention, we kindly ask all volunteers to sign a simple commitment, supporting the well-being of the community and preserving the spirit of the centre.
