Would you like to participate in the 7th Kadampa Temple for World Peace art project?
If so, you are at the right place.
There are two ways you can participate: as a volunteer or as an artist-in-training.
Please read the terms and conditions below carefully.
Participate as a volunteer
To participate in the Art Project as a volunteer, you have two options: volunteer in KMC France and/or in Manjushri KMC. You can alternate between the two (for example, due to visa requirements).
Volunteering in KMC France
Volunteering in Manjushri KMC
If you’d like to volunteer at Manjushri KMC, follow this link and fill out the volunteer form, specifying that you would like to help at the art studio and that you would like to assist with the Art Project of the 7th Kadampa Temple for World Peace.
Join the Kadampa artists training
The Kadampa artists training will be held at KMC France and KMC Manjushri (it is possible to alternate location for visa-related matters).
Conditions
Information about the Training Course can be found in this document. Please read it carefully before you apply.
You will be provided with dormitory accommodation, meals and access to all the evening classes at KMC France and to General Programme classes at Manjushri during term time. Travel costs are not included.
Typical hours will be 9am-5pm, Mon-Fri (with breaks). Trainees will also on occasion be expected to help outside of the training hours with the general activities of Manjushri KMC / KMC France as a member of the community.
Subscription
To suscribe, please fill out this form, and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
Other questions
Is it required to speak English or French?
No, but since the project manager is English, it might be helpful to speak at least a little English. If that’s not the case, please just mention it when you sign up.
You don’t need to speak French.
Are there any specific qualifications required?
No qualifications are required for Manjushri KMC.
Regarding the art work at KMC France, it is not necessary to have an artistic background, but it is important to have a sincere desire to learn how to create beautiful, high-quality Buddha statues for the benefit of future generations. This will require three important qualities: faith (you will be working on very blessed objects), patience (you may be repeating the same movements for a long time and with great care), and attention to detail.
Do I have to bring anything?
All materials will be provided. If you have any personal supplies you’d like to bring (paintbrushes, painting, etc.), you’re welcome to do so.
