About the program
Teaching Buddhist monks in Nepal is one of the wonderful opportunity. You will have to opportunity to learn their culture and lifestyle. Most of them are Tibetan monasteries opened by Tibetan refugees that fled the Chinese occupation. They study and live in the monastery. They mostly use Tibetan language only during their study and their chances of learning English are very limited. Volunteers will primarily work as English instructors either in the schools of the Tibetan children’s village, children home. The monastery are usually very spacious they have several ceremony around the year however if they have ceremony or puja going on in the monastery volunteer should not to expect teaching class and we heartily to tell the volunteer to respect their culture However during the ceremony you will also help to them for in the kitchen or any rituals activities. A central building will house prayer room and the main altar. There will be other building for accommodation, eating and staying. During the teaching you will be encouraged to converse with monks to improve their speech you can talk about things back home and ask them about their childhood and life as monks.
