Michael Teaching in a Monastery
Michael teaching in a monastery with Volunteer World Nepal is the perfect organization to sign up with for teaching monks in a monastery program for people who really want to have a break in their busy lives doing something of interest and gaining a unique and lifetime experience. After serving mandatory military service imposed by the government, Michael, a 21-year-old lad from Switzerland came to Nepal for 5 weeks teaching to monks in a monastery program through Volunteer World Nepal.
He has a great intent to help out people in need and distress. He is an ardent and true nature lover. And for that matter, no other countries would have been more suitable for him to volunteer. As he is interested in trekking and exploring new places, he will avail the opportunities to trek on the famous trekking route in Nepal. Besides he has remained a boy scout during his school days. He can share his expertise and experience as a scout with the young monks of the monastery. The monastery would love to have him impart his knowledge to its little monks.
Our teaching in a monastery program is a highly sought-after volunteering opportunity in Nepal. As a volunteer at a Buddhist monastery, you’ll get to immerse yourself in the Buddhist culture and experience the unique environment of a Buddhist monastery. In addition, you’ll play a crucial role in facilitating communication between the monks and the outside world. There are very few other volunteer placements in the world that offer the chance to work closely with Buddhist monks. If you’re interested in gaining a deeper understanding of monastery life, practising meditative techniques, and exploring Buddhist teachings and learning, this program will provide you with an extraordinary and enriching experience.
What does a teaching in a monastery volunteer do?
Teaching in a monastery placement can teach English, Math, creative and fun activities or sports to the monks for around 3 – 4 hours per day. Even if you are less experienced, we have teaching materials that help you when needed. In turn, the monks share their knowledge and culture with the volunteers. If you ask the monks, you can get the chance to learn meditation techniques and receive in-depth knowledge of the Buddhist culture. Teaching in monastery volunteer work is one of our most popular volunteering posts, due to the unique way it allows you to truly be involved in the life of a Buddhist monastery.
