Live, work, and grow in a
Buddhist community in Northern California dedicated to
serving humanity by preserving Tibetan Buddhist culture. The
Yeshe
De volunteer
work exchange program provides housing, vegetarian meals,
Buddhist classes and a stipend of $150 per month all while
living among the natural beauty of their country retreat
center, Ratna Ling. This volunteer program also offers you
the chance to work for the benefit of others while engaging
your own self-development through skillful means practice,
meditation, Dharma study and Tibetan yoga. Individuals who
like to work hard, are willing to view work as a source of
learning, and who possess a strong commitment to personal
growth will thrive in this environment. Experience the value
of meaningful work by helping produce thousands of sacred
Buddhist books to be given away to Tibetan monks, nuns, and
lay practitioners. No special skills are required; training
is provided for all book-making tasks, such as folding,
collating and trimming at the onsite bindery. Minimum time
commitment is 6 months. Shorter commitments are considered
in cases such as visa restrictions or school obligations.
