  Descrição

  My name is ANAM, and I live and practice with my spiritual teacher, Master Sunyata.
  I have spent more than 40 years exploring meditation and spiritual teachings, searching for real answers and deeper compassion in this world.
  
  During the most difficult time of my life —
  when I had no stability, declining health, and felt unseen by the world —
  Master Sunyata recognized my value when no one else did.
  She offered me guidance, a home, and a renewed purpose.
  From that moment, I chose to dedicate my life to supporting her compassionate mission.
  
  My teacher, SUNYATA, has lived a profoundly sacrificial and compassionate life devoted entirely to the well-being of others.
  
  For decades, she has given herself wholeheartedly to meditation, healing, and service.
  She became a Theravada Buddhist monk in her early years, living with the strict discipline of simplicity—owning almost nothing, eating once a day, and dedicating every breath to awakening and compassion.
  
  For more than 35 years, SUNYATA has practiced and shared Zen, Vipassana, and deep silent meditation, guiding people who suffer, comforting those who feel lost, and offering her wisdom without asking for anything in return.
  
  She has been a vegan for 30 years, living with absolute respect for all living beings.
  Her life has always been centered on kindness—toward humans, animals, plants, and the unseen world of nature.
  
  Even outside the monastery, she continues to live with humility and service.
  She cares for animals who have been abandoned, supports people in emotional and spiritual crisis, and opens her home as a sanctuary for healing, silence, and transformation.
  
  I have witnessed her give everything of herself—her time, her energy, her heart—to help others rise, heal, and remember their inner light.
  
  SUNYATA’s life is not just spiritual; it is sacrificial, selfless, and profoundly compassionate.
  She has walked through suffering with courage, and she has offered her life as a lamp for those who cannot yet see their own path.
  
  To live and practice beside her is an honor.
  Those who meet her feel the depth of her sincerity, the purity of her intention, and the gentle strength that comes only from a lifetime of service.
  She is also trained in integrative and alternative healing, using nature, simplicity, and mindful presence to support transformation.
  Her home is a small spiritual sanctuary surrounded by nature and animals.
  I help Master SUNYATA care for the animals and maintain the daily rhythm of this quiet, healing space.
  We welcome volunteers who value true spiritual practice, respect for all beings, and a mindful, peaceful way of life.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  With SUNYATA, daily life becomes a teaching: You learn how to live in harmony with nature, how to respect every living being, and how to discover peace within yourself.
  As a foreigner myself, I realized here that culture is not just food, clothes, or language, it is a way of being. Through SUNYATA’s guidance, I began to understand what true happiness means — a happiness beyond possessions, rooted in simplicity and compassion.
  For highly hidden spiritual beings who are seeking to find their true self, this place is a rare opportunity to encounter your own hidden spiritual self.

  Ajuda

  Our sanctuary is not a place only for personal healing.
  It is a training place for those who wish to serve and protect
  animals, nature, and people in hardship.
  
  Here, volunteers learn to:
  
  • Support rescued animals with compassion
  • Live sustainably in harmony with nature
  • Practice mindful action and responsibility
  • Develop strength to help others who suffer
  • Transform themselves to become a benefit to the world
  
  We welcome volunteers who feel called to grow into helpers,
  not only seekers.
  
  This is a training center for compassionate action —
  a place to strengthen your heart
  so you can support life beyond yourself.
