◉ Volunteering at the Centre

Ever thought of volunteering at a Dharma Centre?

We have lots of opportunities to help out at the Centre in different areas, such as: in the garden, the kitchen, on property and maintenance, accommodation and hospitality, and in the Programme area.

We are delighted with the news from His Holiness the Dalai Lama that our most precious lama, Kyabje Zopa Rinpoche has taken rebirth. According to His Holiness’s observation, the reincarnation has been reborn in Nepal. A dedicated team has been appointed to search for Rinpoche's reincarnation.
