“Taiwan Samadhigama” locates in southern Sri Lanka and is one of the post-tsunami reconstruction aid projects. The fund for the project was raised by a Sri Lankan monk who had been a long term resident in Taiwan. This essay will discuss the experiences of two Taiwanese volunteers who had been involved in this project. The discussion will focus on their experiences of religious conversion and as Buddhist aid workers.
