Buddhist monasteries play a vital role in the cultural and social fabric of Nepal, fostering both spiritual and educational development. Serlo Monastery, nestled in the Junbesi Valley of the Himalayas, is home to over a hundred monks, serving not only as a place of devotion but also as a school and sanctuary. Beyond its religious significance, it offers young boys from remote villages access to education and opportunities they might not otherwise have, empowering them with knowledge, discipline, and a strong sense of community.

Tucked away in the quiet foothills of Los Chorros, the monastery of the Discalced Carmelites is a hidden sanctuary of devotion. Here, the nuns live a life of prayer, silence, and simplicity, embodying the contemplative spirit of St. Teresa of Ávila. Their unwavering commitment to prayer as a service to the world serves as a testament to the power of solitude and faith. In this sacred Church, families gather and benefit from the spiritual support from Las Carmelitas every week.
