招募·斯里兰卡｜奔赴世界尽头灵魂的故乡，回想西格利亚的经文，赴一场康提的众神狂欢

“每年东南信风吹起，海流轻抚印度洋上的明珠，斯里兰卡是世界尽头灵魂的故乡。在东西古城的菩提树下，回想西格利亚的经文，赴一场康提的众神狂欢。”——马克吐温

提到斯里兰卡的城市，大家首先想到的可能是科伦坡、加勒或者亭可马里，这些目的地一直都是这个微笑国家的热门爆款。

但是，要是只能让人选择一个目的地，Gapper会毫不犹豫地来这座宝藏古城，在兰卡也是相当热门的存在。每一处都美成手机壁纸，满满的松弛感，直接爱上了！

这里就是位于斯里兰卡中部的康提（Kandy）！

被誉为“圣城”，这里不仅古迹林立、山水相依， 还拥有兰卡其它城市所没有的以供奉着释迦牟尼的牙舍利而声名远扬的佛牙寺。

康提远离都市化，总给人一种平静柔和的感觉。在这里，能轻易将烦恼抛除在外，心无旁骛地享受时光流逝。

恰逢斯里兰卡免签+直飞（广州/成都/上海等城市） ，轻松抵达，那就与Gapper一起将印迹留在康提吧～

属于康提的城市速写

康提的僧伽罗语名为Maha Nuwara，意为“伟大的城市”，Kandy则有“山丘”之意。

僧伽罗王朝在地形复杂的中部地区，以高山为屏障，守护了康提这最后一个都城。如今，这里也成为了仅次于科伦坡的第二大城市。

一面山壁悬崖，一面流水潺潺。康提位于被群山环绕的狭小盆地之中，自然会显得“心平气和”许多。

终日散不去的乌云，却不会时常形成一场润泽大地的雨水，而是从古城里逐渐弥漫到山间，最终化成一缕缕自带世外桃源滤镜、淡淡的山雾。

都说康提是一座“拥堵”的城市，“圣城”的光环带来一个个手捧鲜花的虔诚信众，几乎每一位僧伽罗人每年都会携家带口来到佛牙寺朝拜 。

那些不灭的信仰，让这里变得禅意与仙气并存。

如果是搭乘小火车而来，漫无边际、层层叠叠的高山茶园像是爱丽丝的漫游仙境，绿意铺满眼前，空气中散发着茶香。

老旧的小火车发出规律节奏的声响，在海拔2000米左右的高山中自由穿梭，外面是茶园、原始雨林、连绵山脉……

在大街小巷中行走，处处洋溢着极其浓厚的人文气息，像是被时代封印一样的存在。 在每一次与当地人四目相对的瞬间，都能收获很有力量感与感染力的笑容。

左手信仰，右手生活

除了寺院、教堂，康提还有小清新的植物园，热烈似火的水果市场，或是略带文艺的街边小店……

对于旅人来讲，在极具信仰的城市感受当地生活，是件不可复制的事情，与Gapper一起解锁康提的n个打卡点吧。

❤️佛牙寺Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic

斯里兰卡佛教盛行，70%以上的人信仰佛教。位于康提湖畔皇宫建筑群内的佛牙寺能从一众寺庙中成为“信仰之都”，自然有其独到之处。

寺庙外观洁白无瑕，寺内则安放着释加牟尼的牙舍利，1988年更是被列为世界文化遗产。在这里，时间仿佛凝固，也许会更理解人生的喜怒哀乐。

每年7、8月份，这里会举行盛大的佛牙节。火炬、击鼓、传统舞蹈，上百头披着盛装的大象游行，届时场面灯光如昼，热闹非凡。

除此之外，每天傍晚6点左右，寺里会举行祭拜仪式。无处不在的朵朵莲花和僧众的吟唱，让人十分上头。 （PS：进入佛牙寺需要脱鞋，建议穿袜子，着装勿短袖/短裤/短裙。）

❤️康提湖Kandy Lake

位于市中心，沿湖散步，能发现许多殖民时代留下的欧式建筑。湖边种满了花草树木，仿佛一秒抵达了盛夏中波光粼粼的海边，拍照超级出片。

湖周围栖息着许多野生鸟类，如白鹭、绿鹭、鹈鹕等。这里虽是个人工湖，但配上晚霞实在是太美了，强烈推荐傍晚来散步～

附近有个观景台可以俯瞰康提全景，需爬坡十分钟左右。在这座文化气息浓厚的古城里自由漫步，感觉整个人都被净化了。

❤️皇家植物园Royal Botanic Gardens

这片小清新的植物园，占地超过60公顷，将热带风情搬入这佛香袅袅的圣城中。号称是“亚洲最大的植物园”，也是康提国王的御花园。

这里拥有超过4000种植物，不乏一些非常稀有珍贵的热带植物。这里并不是平平无奇的景点，可逛性非常强，一幕幕都像从画报里走出来。

古老的棕榈树大道、东倒西歪的连排树、满树倒挂的蝙蝠、成群的猴子……一圈逛下来，出片率极高，连带视力都变好，怪不得说公园20分钟效应！

周总理夫妇也曾在这里种下了一棵树，记得去打卡一下哦～

❤️安布鲁瓦瓦塔Ambuluwawa Tower

这是风靡ins的小众景点，位于距离康提约25公里的Gampola小镇，海拔有3567英尺，塔高将近50米，被誉为斯里兰卡的“天空之塔”。

这是一座巨大的纯白色螺旋塔，造型独特。楼梯越往上爬越狭窄，会给人一种强烈的恐高压迫感，会感觉自己几乎悬在空中。

克服层层恐惧后，从塔顶往外看，能360˚毫无遮挡地俯瞰一片片绿色的茶园、起伏的山脉以及远处的村庄。

可以乘坐突突车直达景区门口，有不少猴子在周边玩耍，还可以进行骑马、观看眼镜蛇表演、悬崖秋千、无动力探索等项目。

❤️Kandy Municipal Central Market

《舌尖上的中国》导演陈晓卿曾说： “了解一个城市的最好方式，是去看它的市场。”

一栋古老破旧的两层建筑，成了康提最大的综合市场，满满都是汪曾祺先生笔下的“生之乐趣”，也是当地人的“快乐老家”。

一楼主售蔬果香料海产品，带着一种凌乱和粗糙质感的美。二楼是一间间小店，纱丽、鞋帽、手工艺品都能用超便宜的价格买到。

此起彼伏的吆喝声，果蔬挨挨挤挤地堆在泡沫箱上，扑面而来的生活气息和人情味。

窥见苦难下的净土

在这个国家破产的过往里，我们以为会看到苦难，结果却触摸到了幸福。

如果想要体验更地道的生活和文化，像当地人一样扎根在这片土地，会让人获得了一个机会。那一抹抹真挚的笑意，会留住我们匆忙的步伐。

// 幼儿园教学 //

我们走进当地幼儿园，提供儿童照料服务。 辅助老师上课、陪伴孩子做游戏、进行些简单的知识教学……

从孩童的双眸中，窥见苦难下的净土。也许，这是孩子们第一次接触我们习以为常的事物，世界的参差需要我们逐渐缩小。

除了开展基础教学课堂，我们还将帮助幼儿园进行教学环境建设。刷墙、餐食准备、校园清理……为孩子们营造美好的校园环境。

孩子们的真诚和温暖，会让人只想把世界上所有的美好都交付给他们。

// 学校教学 //

我们将在当地学校进行教学活动，带学生参与体育训练以及做游戏等辅助性工作，也可准备些中文、英文内容教学，增加互动。

破旧简陋的校园里，挤满了皮肤黝黑却拥有双眸深邃、动人笑容的孩子。虽教学资源匮乏，但依旧能看见被用心布置的每一处角落。

总有人跨越千山万水为你而来。

青涩又活泼的孩子们，从来不吝啬对人的夸奖。而我们也能在一次次肯定的语言中重燃热情与活力，解锁另一种人生角色，互相治愈。

// 寺院文化体验 //

在露珠滴落在草尖的清晨，前往当地佛教冥想中心，与僧人及佛教徒一起坐禅冥想，是心灵和身体的多重疗养。

在思绪天马行空的时候，配合呼吸，洞见自己的内心。尝试感受那份久违的宁静与自我对话的时光，允许一切如其所是。

除此之外，我们还会协助僧人劳作。也许是细心打扫每一片落叶，也许是整理每件物品……在佛教冥想中心体验佛门的人间烟火，生命体验又多了一项。

随后可以体验诵经祈福仪式，佛音袅袅，内心也无比的清净又舒心，仿佛瞬间逃离了人间的烦心事。

来自康提项目首位参与者Maggie的长文反馈：

This is an extraordinarily exciting and meaningful program. Probably the only drawback is that it's too short and makes me miss it way too much. Personally, this program has left me a deep impression mainly for three aspects.

1) Firstly, the most heart-warming part is the people. The director, Arosha, and the coordinator, Lakshi, are super dedicated to hosting and guiding us. When we arrived, their family had been waiting at the airport for over two hours. Then they took us to a local restaurant and we got to enjoy our first delicious meal here. In the following days, she was with us the whole time, from Colombo to Kandy and b ack. She took care of everything—meals, accommodation, transportation—and even paid for some things that weren't included in the program. Besides, she's incredibly considerate. My friend and I were talking about wearing local attire called Saree during our tuk-tuk rides, but we hesitated because of the price and time. Lakshi overheard us but kept quiet until the last day. She surprised us with the outfits and took a bunch of gorgeous photos, which really moved me. There are so many little things that show her kindness—I couldn't list them all.

Plus, we're not just program partners; we're more like sisters. Lakshi is outgoing and fun, and we always joked around and laughed a lot. Even after the program, she helped us with so much, like storing our luggage, making travel plans, and showing us around Colombo when we needed to shop. I always feel guilty because I don’t know how to thank her enough. Besides Lakshi, the kindergarten manager and teachers were also super friendly. Every time we taught the kids, they’d bring us local snacks and drinks and chat with us. They even joined us on our visit to the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic and surprised us with beautiful local clothes and a special Indian lunch. In addition to these close connections, other friends of Lakshi, from the housekeeping manager to the gem shop owner, were all so kind. Without their help, we wouldn’t have had such a great experience.

2)Secondly, I found the program to be really versatile and worthwhile. For one thing, we got to dive deep into the local culture because the program included lots of interaction with local people at the kindergarten and the temple. We helped teach the kids English and Chinese, which also gives me access to their tutoring methods. Personally, I felt like I got my childlike heart back when I hung out with them. Another highlight was our visit to the temple, where we meditated and helped with cleaning. I learned about their daily routines and the role of temples, and I felt a sense of peace because the monks were so calm and pure-hearted. Besides the volunteer work, Lakshi also took us to several scenic spots. What's more, the schedule was flexible and could be adjusted to fit our needs, so there was no rush or discomfort. Even when we overslept one day, Lakshi was still patient.

3)Lastly, the culture in Sri Lanka and the vibe in Kandy truly impressed me. Sri Lanka is renowned for its tourism and inclusiveness. People here are tolerant of different cultures and approachable to everyone. We met many locals, all of whom were always smiling and ready to lend a hand. This was a huge relief to us, as two girls traveling abroad alone without much experience. The program is carried out in Kandy. Compared to the project in Galle, this place is far better. Galle is a famous tourist attraction, where commercialization is evident and tourists flood in. In stark contrast, Kandy is the center of Buddhism and the last kingdom before British colonization. This gives it more historic significance and a more peaceful environment. During our five-day stay, we hardly saw any foreigners, allowing us to have a truly immersive experience.

Overall, the people, the program, the city, and the whole country are all amazing. My friend and I had a wonderful experience, and I'm already planning to recommend it to my other friends. I really hope more people get to know about this program and join it!

它是印度洋里的一颗眼泪，却为全世界带来了微笑和光明。与Gapper一起走入斯里兰卡，这个略带文艺气息的海岛带来的远不止阳光海滩而已。
