While Kopan Monastery does not have an official volunteer program, we would be open to hearing from interested people who meet the following criteria:

-        Teaching background is really a must. All males, of course, since Kopan is a monastery.

-        Someone with an interest in Buddhism, Kathmandu, or Nepal, not necessarily in that order. Kopan is a lovely, peaceful place and a great place to begin or further one’s own Dharrma practice. This is not a requirement, but it might be an obvious advantage for someone who is already on a path.

-        Retired teachers are preferred, though a mature, stable person of any age with teaching experience would certainly be considered.

-        While teaching, each teacher stays for a minimum of  3 months as a guest of the monastery, following all monastery rules. These include No killing, no stealing, no lying, no intoxicants (including tobacco), and no sexual activity.    

 -        Kopan Monastery offers food and accommodation to the right person, with the option of attending one of our residential course.
