Details
Description
Our Buddhist academy focuses on education and run classes and events throughout the semesters, as well as provide a deep understanding of traditional Chinese culture.
While the main programming is in Mandarin there are classes translated from Mandarin or in English throughout the week. Though we are not a temple or monastery- there is a resident monastic and senior teachers, daily Buddhist practices, and life community focus. We actively cultivate a learning environment.
We are a vibrant 20 year community that embraces kindness and hospitality. Our members span various generations, offering a wonderful opportunity to connect with diverse individuals.
1) We offer a 1 month study-work exchange in Taipei at our academy for those who are interested in learning about Buddhism deeply and having time to explore Taiwan. There is a screening and interview proccess for applicants.
2) We also operate an organic farm in Dongshi (2hrs south of Taipei) that offers a more flexible and quiet experience if you are interested in something physical. That can be from 2 weeks to 1-month.
We typically don't accept volunteers for February/July as we do semester preparation. We hold 3 week intensive bilingual retreats in January (farming and meditation) and August (classical text study and meditation). All of our classes and programs are offered freely and beginners or curious folks are welcome.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
In addition to language exposure and cultural exchange, it is an open-minded space that encourages interaction and collaboration with anyone interested in Buddhism and Confucianism. Apart from routine classes, we also have weekly chanting and meditation sessions and other cultural activities here or at outside locations from time to time. For those interested you can help with meal prep and cooking as well. You can also meet other overseas volunteers to explore Taipei with. Our community is dedicated with shared values- we hope you can experience our mutual support attitude, achieve personal growth and develop your spiritual insights here. Many of our volunteers end up learning about their own cultural differences and expectations through seeing how a community based in traditional culture functions.

We encourage you to engage in our community activities but also use your time off 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.

We wish to maintain a neutral study environment for everyone.
Ideal volunteers are those with a clear interest in Buddhism or Confucianism and want experiential cultural learning through participation and curiousity.
When applying, it is helpful if you send:
- proposed arrival/departure dates, we prefer a Monday start date.

- we will respond with detailed information about the schedule and work and set up a phone interview.
