- NameSlow walking and deep listening in meditation—staying together with nature
- IntroductionAdopting walking meditation, this encourages people to take a walk on these tranquil mountainous trails in the woods and enjoy the calming ambience of nature. Whether sitting, standing, or lying besides the stream listening to the sound of water and nature, you will gradually become one with nature, profoundly experiencing the wonderful subtleness of nature. By profoundly experiencing the mutual connection and humanity’s dependency on the environment for our existence and survival, we can reflect on the imbalance inherent in our way of life due to overconsumption of natural resources, and explore how we can change our style of living, in order to contribute to sustainable development of the environment.

- NameSpiritual protection and water conservation—keeping the landscape intact
- IntroductionApproximately three quarters of the total area in Taiwan is mountainous. As our campus is situated on a hill, soil and water conservation is certainly an important issue. The program conducts a small experiment on the impact of vegetation on erosion and depletion of land, to help people realize the importance of soil and water conservation. By getting up close to the trees, we can understand that trees are actually vegetation. Also, by means of fun activities to search and identify the soil and water conservation facilities on the campus, visitors are prompted to explore the functions of these facilities in contributing to soil and water conservation, and their impact on the ecological system of the environment, so as to contemplate how to practice environmental protection and conservation in their daily life.
