Temple volunteers are groups who voluntarily contribute their time, energy and skills in temples based on their love and practice of Buddhism. Being a volunteer often comes from some morality, belief, conscience, compassion and sense of responsibility. It is the dedication of soul and life, and the dedication of wisdom and time. Temple volunteers have five characteristics: voluntary, altruistic, unpaid, compulsory and organized.

(1) voluntariness: volunteers must be voluntary and have the right to choose; Being a volunteer is completely spontaneous and conscious, without any compulsion. Volunteers also have the right to terminate volunteer activities and quit volunteer organizations at any time.

(2) Altruism: Volunteers stress the spirit of service, giving priority to dedication and altruism, and should not proceed from self-interest.

(3) Free: Volunteers should not be accompanied by expectations of external rewards. Volunteer activities usually do not charge labor remuneration, and there is no relationship between employment and being employed.

(4) Obligation: If the volunteers are Sambo disciples, it is the obligation of every Buddhist disciple to protect Sambo.

(e) Organization: Volunteers must abide by the volunteer code and accept a certain degree of management and restraint, so that volunteer activities can be carried out in an orderly, efficient and legal manner.

Volunteers are affectionate and righteous, completely happy from the heart, willing to serve the public, full of joy and no regrets.
