VOLUNTARY TEACHING AT LOCAL SCHOOL
There are many Private Boarding Schools that welcomes you as a
voluntary teacher for the time you wish to stay. Nepalese meals
and accommodation are provided normally sharing with a Nepalese
family. So this can be a good chance to learn the Nepalese way
of living.
Previous experience of teaching is required. However, if you
have a confidence and are willing to teach students aged 3 to 15
are accepted. Nepalese students obey their teachers, so all you
need to have with you is an ability to make them clearly
understand what you are teaching.
Schools may not have sufficient teaching materials and you are
welcome to bring them if you wish.
There are many holidays in Nepal so Schools may close in some
months. Please check with us at least a month before you plan to
arrive in Nepal.
If you want to know more, you are welcome to E-mail us. We shall
make you in contact direct to the Schools. There is no service
charge for this. Please just tell us your interest, experience,
time, and period you want to stay.
MEDTITATION
COURSES
Buddhism
meditation and practice courses give a theoretical and practical
introduction to Buddhism philosophy and meditation of the
Tibetan Mahayana Tradition. They are based on one of the
principal teaching of this tradition called 'The Graded path to
Enlightenment' and provide a step by step instruction on how to
reach the state of full enlightenment.
The courses are
led by experienced Western teachers with daily teaching from
Tibetan Lamas, combining two styles of transmission of this
precious knowledge on how to make life meaningful and
worthwhile.
Such Meditation
course is held residentially throughout the year at the KOPAN
MONASTERY, 10 Km North from Thamel, located on a beautiful hill
with the clear view of the Kathmandu valley.
Seven to ten
days courses are offered in March, April, May, June, September
and October; as well as a month long meditation course in
November-December.
The courses
combine lectures and teachings with intensive meditation
practice and discussion of relevant topics in a more informal
way.
In between
courses, meditations class at 10 A.M and discussions on Buddhist
topics are offered everyday. You are welcomed to stay at KOPAN
MONASTERY for a day, a week, or even some months to do retreat,
practice meditation, study the Buddhism philosophy or just to
enjoy the beautiful setting and quite surroundings.
However,
attendance for the meditation courses is strictly by
registration only, and places are limited. Participants of the
courses are requested to commit themselves to follow the
discipline as set by the monastery and the course leader.
For course
fees, dates and reservation please
contact us.
CULTURE SHOW
Although Nepal
is a very small country, it is rich in the cultural diversity.
Nepal has over 15 different ethic groups and 35 different
languages. Cultural programs offer a marvelous glimpse of
Nepal’s diverse ethnic and traditional customs. Nepalese folk
dances show an expression of sheer joy.
If you enjoy
songs and dances, then your trekking crews often fill most
evening while you are trekking in the countryside of Nepal with
the tune of Nepalese folk songs with some dances.
If you want to
enjoy Nepalese cultural programs but don’t feel like venturing
on a mountain trek, we can arrange cultural programs for you
also in the town like Kathmandu and Pokhara. Such cultural
programs can be arranged at your hometown too for a lively
evening of Nepalese cultural enlightenment.
