Teaching Buddhist Monk Program
Nepal is a birth place of Buddha
and Buddhism. Though, predominantly a Hindu country, Nepal has a
significant Buddhist influence, beautiful monasteries all over
Nepal shows the popularity of Buddhism in Nepal. In Kathmandu,
Buddhism is also practiced by Tibetan people who are in exile in
Nepal. Volunteers interested to work in a Buddhist monastery
mostly teach English education to monks and immerse themselves in Buddhist
culture. This is a perfect project if you are interested in
Buddhism and the life of Buddhist monks.
What skills do I need ?
Though no
teaching experience or skill is needed, volunteers joining the
Buddhist monk teaching programs in Nepal should have good English both
written and verbal. Volunteers are expected to be flexible and
patient. Volunteers with an interest in the lifestyle of
Buddhist monks will enjoy this program.
What are my
responsibilities ?
As a volunteer
in Real Nepal Monk teaching project, you will primarily work
as English instructors in the schools of Tibetan Children's
Village. You will teach English to Tibetan kids for 3-4 hours a
day. In addition to English teaching, volunteers will assist in
other school extra curricular activities and administration. In
the evening, you can organize games, drawing, singing, dancing,
and other creative education and extra curricular activities.
Morning and
late evening time is free. If you love Buddhism, this is the
perfect time to join meditation, rituals, prays, and songs with
the Buddhist monks. This project gives perfect opportunities to
immerse in Buddhist religion and lifestyle.
Where do I live and eat ?
During
volunteering in the Buddhist monastery, volunteers will stay in
a hostel (mostly located inside the compound of the temple
school). This hostel also acts as home for monks and kids. Real
Nepal
arranges a separate room and shared bath for volunteers. If you
are highly interested in staying on with a host family, that can
also be arranged. You can find the details of arrangements for
room/food in the placement sheets provided you. Real Nepal Kathmandu
office is within 3 miles distance of this project so our local
staff will visit you every 2 weeks. In your free time, you are
always welcome to visit our office.
