    Office Steward Position Now Open


    Also accepting applications for Kitchen & Maintenance Steward Positions

    In non-Buddhist countries, remote monasteries like Birken depend on the voluntary help of long-term Resident Lay Stewards. Stewards live at the monastery full-time and volunteer their services free of charge.

    This is an excellent opportunity for practitioners who are looking for a simple life devoted to the Buddha’s teachings, meditation and meritorious acts of service to the Sangha, to dwell in the company of like-minded individuals who are also committed to these ideals.

    If you are interested in serving as a resident Office Steward, Kitchen or Maintenance Steward, please see our Resident Stewardships webpage for more information and to apply.
