Volunteer service forms an essential part of unwavering self-practice and the supporting of the monastery to welcome visitors. All volunteers must possess the spirit of a Bodhisattva, which is to benefit one's self and others too. They also need to hold the conviction that "to serve is to practice, to practice is to serve". We expect that besides serving others, volunteers can benefit from such acts and will lead to a growth in their understanding of the Dharma and of their own personal qualities.

In order to promote Tsz Shan Monastery's ideals of performing good deeds and "to serve is to practice", the Office of Volunteer Services will actively provide opportunities for Dharma practice, service and training to all volunteers so that they can dedicate themselves to the path of studying the Dharma and purify their minds and spirit, and furthermore, to achieve an increase in both merit and wisdom.
