Informationen
Beschreibung
We are a Buddhist community and charity based in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges. We have 12 acres of gardens and woodland, with a creek and woodland walk running the periphery. The environment is very beautiful, tranquil and restful and is perfect for meditation and contemplation.
The help required varies from cooking, gardening, decorating, maintenance, cleaning and helping with accommodation. We also have various projects that you could get involved in at particular times. On occasion, we may ask you to be flexible and volunteer on one of the days on the weekend.
If you have particular skills we would love to know. Although the work is not always strenuous you will need to be reasonably fit and active to come on a volunteering visit.
In your free time, there are many ways to relax including enjoying the grounds and local tourist sites. You can go for long bush walks in the Dandenong Ranges.
As a volunteer, you are welcome to join any of the evening or weekend meditation classes running.
You are welcome to join us for the daily prayers we hold in our meditation room.
What we have to offer is varied and provides a perfect opportunity to experience the warm and friendly Buddhist way of life first hand.

What a jovial lad who is very energetic and is happy to do any tasks. He made friends with everyone and was a joy to have around. We look forward to hearing about his travels with the friends he made at the Buddhist Centre.

My time at KMC was so awesome that I extended my stay. The other volunteers were very kind and everyone wants to make sure that you have a great time at the Center. The work was various and the food was amazing! I highly recommend the place because it's such a calm and friendly place where you can learn a lot about Buddhism if you want to.

It was wonderful having Joe stay with us for more than two weeks. He got on fabulously with everyone and made friends who have decided to continue their travels together. Joe was diligent and followed through with whatever tasks he was given. All the best with his travels to New Zealand and South East Asia.
