Without our volunteers, we would not be able to offer courses and access to Dharma teachings that are also funded based on donation.\u00a0<\/p>

The Institute relies on a variety of volunteers for all kinds of activities: from kitchen, garden and maintenance work, housekeeping, to running the library, administration, temple preparation, fundraising.<\/p>

If you want to spend a meaningful period of your life in contact with the Buddhist teachings, come and join us at the Institute.<\/p>

We also welcome people from all backgrounds, as well as non- buddhists, yet who have a sincere interest in the Buddha\u2019s teachings and meditation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

To encourage the realization of study projects related to the Dharma, we offer the possibility of welcoming people under the status of student-resident.<\/p>

These spots are limited in number due to the limited number of accommodations on our site. Applicants are selected by the Management Committee based on their motivation.<\/p>

The student-resident status is based on the fundamental principles of Dharma put forward by the FPMT and summarized here: “Study, Reflect, Meditate, Serve”.<\/p>

The commitment of the student-resident is accompanied by a trial period of two weeks. During their stay, they are integrated into the team according to their skills and have a specific teaching programme supervised by a tutor.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In each Department, professional experiences are always appreciated. In all cases, we do provide training and guidance to volunteers in accordance with the taks, and allocations are made based on one\u2019s own capacities, as some jobs may require more or less physical strength. Human and organizational qualities are essential, particularly because we value teamwork that naturally supports the type of establishment we manage.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
