Nung Chan Monastery and Chung-Hwa Institute of Buddhist Culture have won the laurels more than once from Taipei City Government, as well as from the Ministry of Interior, as non-government organizations with credit that have been consistently dedicating contribution to society.

The Deputy Mayor, Jian-Yuan Lin who presided at the ceremony, said that doing charitable work should be actively recognized and be propagated further so it could pave the way towards sustainable development and set an example to encourage people to actively contribute to society. He concluded that the ceremony was a very educational and meaningful one.
