NCKU-National Cheng Kung University Library

Ruminating in the deep, as the sunlight slowly seeps.
Lamps illuminate the dark, as the mind is calm not stark.
-Prayer and Meditation Space

Origins

In response to the diverse cultural backgrounds and beliefs of our student body, NCKU Library has undertaken its first interfaith space renovation in over 20 years. The transformation involved repurposing the sofas on the northern side of the third floor, resulting in the creation of a dedicated 'Prayer and Meditation Space.' This newly designed area not only exudes an aura of elegance and minimalism, fostering a serene and tranquil environment that offers respite from the pressures of daily life, but also serves as a sanctuary for interfaith prayer. We warmly invite you to explore and embrace this tranquil haven.
