Description
We are an academy. Although we are not a temple, we offer Buddhism and Confucianism classes throughout the semester, as well as provide a deep understanding of traditional Chinese culture. While most of our programs are conducted in Mandarin, we are also working on developing English programs. Your participation would be greatly appreciated!
We are a vibrant community that embraces kindness and Buddhist/Confucian ethics. Our members span various generations, offering a wonderful opportunity to connect with diverse individuals. Additionally, we manage an organic farm outside Taipei City for those who enjoy nature.
