“If you want to be happy, you have to check the way you lead your life; your mind
is your religion.”

When we perform selfless actions and offer service to others, we purify selfishness and open our hearts to love everyone unconditionally. We allow ourselves to express, in a natural way, through body, speech and mind, the generosity, kindness and gratitude that exists in ALL OF US.
Practising ALTRUISM is an experience of empathy and exchange, an opportunity to share the best of ourselves with ourselves and with ALL BEINGS.
Volunteering at O Sel Ling is a two-way journey, a mutual act of giving and receiving, all people residing in a Dharma centre agree to respect the following ethical and moral principles, known in Buddhist philosophy as the 5 basic precepts:
«In case of non-compliance, some necessary deemed measures might be taken»
To maintain a healthy coexistence in community, it is important to keep in mind the following aspects:
The minimum stay is 15 days, the maximum three months.
The trial period is one week, after this period, both parties meet to exchange experiences and see the possibility of extending the stay.
Volunteers have their own individual rooms and live in community, they can attend the teachings and group practices as long as this does not interfere with their tasks.
