Nung Chan Monastery, Buddhist monastery in Beitou District, Taipei, Taiwan.
The temple complex features minimalist architectural designs with gardens, incorporating natural elements and modern facilities for meditation practices.
Ven. Dongchu established the monastery in 1975, starting with a two-story farmhouse on 2.5 acres of land at Guandu Plain near Taipei.
The monastery's name reflects the early residents' commitment to growing food while practicing Chan Buddhism, following Master Baizhang Huaihai's teachings.
The monastery maintains facilities for meditation instruction, spiritual retreats, and workshops centered on mindfulness practices throughout the year.
The Diamond Sutra text, containing more than 5,000 words, spans across an exterior wall of the monastery for visitors to read.
