Descrição
Our centre sits on 8 acres in the remote and stunning Valley of Colville, Coromandel Peninsula in New Zealand. Surrounded by lush farmland, bush and the lovely hills of the Coromandel range, our ambience is conducive to peace, rest and healing.
Our centre is a charitable trust and affiliated with the Foundation for the preservation of tradition– an international organization in the gelugpa tradition which has over 150 centres, hospices and projects worldwide.
The Benefits of Service at our Centre
By offering your service as a volunteer, you engage in the supreme practice of generosity (Dānapāramitā) and receive manifold benefits that deeply enrich your spiritual path.
Opportunities for Dharma Practice & Study
Teaching Access: Through the year, we welcome highly qualified international Tibetan and Western teachers who share precious teachings on mindfulness and Buddhist philosophy.
FPMT Education: You will have the opportunity to participate in our FPMT education programs, including the two-year Discovering Buddhism program.
Enhancing Your Spiritual Environment
Dharma Resources: Gain access to our excellent Dharma library, meditation hall (Gompa), and many holy objects for circumambulation and merit-making activities.
Diverse Community: Enjoy the peaceful environment alongside guests staying overnight in our accommodation and those attending group retreats.
Service Activities
Typical volunteer activities are essential to the Centre's continuity and may include cooking, housekeeping, gardening, maintenance, and guest services.
Skills Match: We highly value your interests and skills. If you have special skills, please mention them in your application, as we encourage you to apply for projects where your abilities would be a particularly good fit.
Time and Financial Contribution
Hours: Volunteers commit to 4 hours of service per day for 5 days per week.
Minimum Stay: A minimum stay of two weeks works best for integrating into the community and for effective service.
Contribution: We ask volunteers to contribute $50 per week to the Centre in exchange for food, accommodation, and use of facilities. This contribution helps sustain the Centre's mission.
Application Guidance
Due to the number of applications we receive, we encourage you to apply at least one month before your desired arrival date to avoid disappointment.
