Buddhist ceremonies form an integral part of life on campus, providing a structure and rhythm for daily life. Ceremonies gather the community together to practice, thus bringing a sense of cooperation and harmony to CTTB and DRBU. Students often find that ceremonies are among the most meaningful memories of their time on campus.

Working in the monastery is a continuation of spiritual cultivation. Students regularly contribute to the community by tending the organic farm, translating Sutras or cooking in the kitchen.
