Benefits of volunteering

Many of us find the experience of volunteering at TBS rewarding, highly meaningful and fun (see the stories below).  

Volunteers can:

  • connect to others and develop friendships within a community of like-minded people
  • be a part of collective activities that will offer benefit to others far into the future
  • engage in practical and positive Buddhist activity. From a Buddhist point of view, supporting and sustaining a Buddhist centre and the vision of a holy teacher like Geshe Loden, is an extremely positive and powerful activity
  • spend time in the peace and beauty of our 10-acre grounds and awe-inspiring traditional Tibetan Buddhist temple
  • have some fun and laughs along the way!
