Nung Chan Monastery 农 禅 寺

Having heard much about the Nung Chan Monastery (农 禅 寺) where Master Sheng Yen used to host his earlier Dharma talks and meditation retreats, we were excited to embark on the journey to visit it on our last day in Taipei . We alighted at "Qiyan" (奇岩) MRT station and after walking about 10minutes and opposite what's looks like an automobile mart, we saw the signboard of the monastery at a road junction.



Finally, we caught a glimpse of the monastery at the end of the Daye road.
It looks unlike a traditional temple building from the gate entrance...
Photos are not allowed beyond this wall but a glimpse of the main hall could be viewed from old photos here . It is a simple hall but maybe because of many past Dharma events conducted, one could sense the positive energy when one enters it.:-) If one is able to spend some time meditating there, it may be a blissful experience.

The monastery is located at : 89, Lane 65, Daye Road
Beitou, Taipei, 112
