Material support

With introduction of science as part of the monastic education, the need of laboratories becomes very much apparent, for the students to undertake experiments. We have plans to set up a science center in near future at a strategic location, accessible to all the monasteries, where monks can perform their own experiments and investigation. In the mean time we are planning to make available a minimum inventory of experimental equipments to conduct basic experiments at each monastery.

So if you or your organizations have surplus or used equipment or materials, in form of science books, laboratory equipments and science videos, you can kindly donate it to us. Contact address

Academic collaboration

Teachers are ambassadors of science to Buddhism and expert knowledge of the subject matter combined with skill within the classroom is needed. Teachers are chosen based on expertise in their field and experience as interactive educators. Teachers are required to have a PhD in their related fields of science with a strong focus on science education. Some exceptions are made for research scientist with incredible expertise, normally +20 years of experience, in subjects related to Buddhism and science.
