A Buddhist Village
Work or 'right livelihood' has always played a significant part in the Buddha's teaching. For those that wish to, our businesses offer the opportunity to work with like-minded individuals in an ethical context.
The businesses are run co-operatively with people being paid according to their needs rather than as a reward for their contribution. Profits from the businesses are either re-invested or given away.
Find out more about the businesses by clicking on them on the map below or by scrolling down the page with your mouse.
