  Beschreibung

  We are an academy. While we are not a monastic temple, we do have residential monastics and a daily practice schedule or special events that you are welcome to join or may be asked to help with preparing and set up. We focus on Buddhist and Confucian teachings and run classes and ceremonies throughout the semester, as well as provide a deep understanding of traditional Chinese culture.
  
  While the main programming is in Mandarin there are four English classes (on Wednesday and Sunday) and two Mandarin classes with live English translation (on Monday and Saturday).
  
  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 also operate an Organic Farm in Dongshi (2hrs south of Taipei) that offers a longer term & quiet volunteer experience.

  Was noch ...

  We encourage you to engage in our community activities but also flexible time off for you to explore Taipei's history and culture. Our location is only five minutes from Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Station, making transportation around Taipei/Taiwan generally very convenient.
  
  As we are an active school promoting Buddhism and Confucian values, we kindly ask guests to refrain from drinking or bringing alcohol onto the property. Overnight guests and bringing meat or fish are not permitted. We also urge that you interact respectfully and modestly with our students, volunteers, esteemed guests, and teachers. Basic clothing etiquette may be required for some activities. (such as long sleeves/pants, socks, subdued and avoiding very casual, revealing, or sports wear styles)
  
  While we can provide a rich cultural experience we are primarily looking to host people with a strong interest in Buddhism or Confucianism and experiential learning through participation in our events, classes, and dialogues.
  
  When applying, it is helpful if you send:
  - proposed itinerary (2 weeks maximum stay for 1st time volunteers)
  - possible dates you'd like to arrive/depart
  - some brief information about why or what you'd like to learn about Buddhism/Confucianism and your experience with it
  - brief expectations and learning or skills outcomes you may have
  
  If the dates work for both of us we'd like to have a short video call with you and 1 or more staff members here to answer any questions!

  Kann Digital Nomads unterbringen

  We can host digital workers at our Organic Farm in Dongshi. This opportunity is for those looking for a longer term stay (1+ month commitment) and are willing and capable to work on a small semi-rural organic farm. This is ideal for someone interested in: farming, Mandarin language, and having a quiet and regular environment with minimal distractions. Once a week there is a nearby Buddhist ceremony and Sundays opportunity to join Mandarin language classes on Confucianism. Each week members from Taipei will come down for weekend classes.
