  • Descrição

    Descrição

    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, daily Buddhist practices, and life focus and we cultivate a respectful 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.

    For those generally interest, at our academy in Taipei, we offer a 2-week exchange.
    Folks looking for a deeper Buddhism study may apply for a 1-month exchange.

    We also operate an organic farm in Dongshi (2hrs south of Taipei) that offers a longer term & quiet experience. 2 weeks ~ 2 month stay.

    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.

  • Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

    Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

    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.

    As a school, we ask guests to refrain from drinking or bringing alcohol, meat, or fish onto the property. We also urge that you interact respectfully and modestly with students, volunteers, esteemed guests, and teachers. Buddhist spaces have a basic clothing etiquette: no exposed shoulders, midriff, chest, shorts/skirts, or tight/sportswear/flashy clothing. 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 itinerary (All regular volunteers are fixed at 2 weeks. Those interested in studying Buddhism more intensely can apply for 1 month stay after fulfilling pre-requisites.)
    - possible dates you'd like to arrive/depart (we prefer you begin on a Monday)
    - 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!
