Volunteering
Tilopa Centre and World Peace Cafe, is home to a spiritual community; young and old, lay and ordained, living and working harmoniously together and striving to put Buddha’s teachings into practice in our daily lives.
Both Tilopa Buddhist Centre and the World Peace Cafe run completely on the kindness of Volunteers. Members of the community volunteer their time to provide all of the facilities which the centre offers, including a full range of Buddhist study and meditation programs throughout the year. These range from short general program classes to week long meditation retreats and large national festivals. Everything within these courses; from the Teacher's time to the bakes goods and homemade soups, is pure volunteer work.
By dedicating time performing virtuous activities for the community, and helping to make Dharma flourish, we are creating the causes to have a peaceful and happy life.
You can help too by reading the opportunities to help below, and dedicating some time to volunteer in the daily running of Tilopa Buddhist Centre.
