Buddhism in Taiwan
There are many temples and monasteries in Taiwan making it a good place to study Buddhism. Buddhism has increased in popularity among the Taiwanese people in recent years and there are many Buddhist organisations including very large international ones which have their headquarters in Taiwan such as Fo Guang Shan and Tzu Chi. Chan and Pure Land Buddhism are the most popular types of Buddhism practised in Taiwan. Tibetan Buddhism is also becoming increasingly popular. The Dalai Lama visited Taiwan in 1997 and 2001 and there are many Tibetan monks, nuns and lamas living in Taiwan.

learning buddhism
i am very interested in becoming a monk and leading the life of a monk so that this cycle of birth and death is put to an end. but i am effected by a lack of information as well as financial constraints as also family opposition. my email address is skavca@live.com
kindly guide me as to how i can go about it.
is it more relevant to serve my old mother first or would it suffice if i were to take up a monk's life at this point of time, when my mother has nobody other than me to depend on. although i am practically of no use to her.

Come to visit Burma or Myannmar
Hi !
I strongly suggest to visit my country, Burma or Myanmar if you want to learn some about pure Theravada Buddhism. There are many branches about Buddhism but not many countries left with pure Buddhist phenomenon. It is important to go right place to know the right teacher. I met with some people in Taiwan, their thinking and learning Buddhism are slightly different with Buddhist. Here are some useful links about Buddhism.
