Overview
Are you looking to teach English abroad? Do you dream of a life full of adventure and travel experiences in Nepal while working with Monks and learning more about the religion? Nepal is the birthplace of Buddha where people from all over the world come to seek spiritual enlightenment. It is also home to thousands of Tibetans in exile trying to rebuild their cultural heritage and practice their religion freely. As a result, Nepal is filled with many Buddhist monasteries where monks live and devote their lives to Buddhism. With globalization and other developments, there is a great need and desire for young monks to learn English so they can teach the peaceful message of Buddha to the world.
In the Teaching Buddhist Monks program in Nepal, you will be teaching English skills to the young monks. You will teach basic conversational, reading and writing skills. You will also organize fun and extra-curricular activities for the young monks like drawing, games etc. to help in their overall development. You are also welcome to take part in monastery rituals, meditation and prayer ceremonies during your free time. You will equip the monks with a valuable tool to spread Buddhist teachings of peace, tolerance and compassion which in turn will make a difference in the lives of many people. It will also help them integrate into the modern world. You will also open your mind to a new culture as you learn more about Buddhism and grow spiritually.
