The BCBS Working Guest program enables volunteers to practice and study the dharma while living and working on campus. Working Guest tasks are varied and include working in the garden, maintaining the grounds, housekeeping, and helping out on opening and closing days. Working Guests work alongside BCBS staff members in exchange for room and partial board and have access to the library and meditation hall as well as occasional programs and dharma talks by teachers.
Nikhil Mandalaparthy spent September as our Working Guest and shared his thoughts on the experience:
Nikhil left us filled with gratitude for his friendship and service. We wish him all the best and hope to see him back at BCBS soon!
