School of Happiness with Buddhist Values for Children

Hello everyone!

Welcome to this meeting on April 21, at 2:00 p.m. It is for you if:

- you want your child to be part of this school of happiness

OR

- you would like to give your time to make this project a reality.

We cherish the project of offering children a living and learning environment in accordance with their deep nature, emphasizing the universal values ​​of respect, harmony, love, compassion and peace.

Buddhist teaching explains that the deep nature of all beings is clear and luminous; the mind is free from all impurity. On the other hand, the mind is temporarily veiled by "mental disturbances", such as anger, jealousy, pride, excessive desire, egocentrism, to name a few. Through ignorance, it happens that contexts are created in society that favor the development of such disturbances in children and adults. The ideal time to give tools to prevent the development of such disturbances and to help develop beautiful inner qualities is from an early age.

We of course believe that it is important that children learn a body of knowledge that will serve them in the world of work and in life in society. But we also believe that it is of the utmost importance that children grow up in an environment filled with affection, respect and fundamental human values. It is the duty of adults to educate them in this sense and provide them with the best tools that will help them have a happy life and contribute to creating a better future society. Children are our future, and our future must be one rich in compassion, love and wisdom. Ancient Buddhist wisdom offers such tools, and it is nourished by this intention that we wholeheartedly wish to make this project a reality.

In this school with Buddhist values, in addition to basic academic subjects, we will emphasize the values ​​of harmony and compassion, and organize a living environment where meditation and any other activity that allows children to learn will be practiced. evolve in the healthiest way possible.

At the moment we are just at the project stage. We are at the stage of bringing together people who wish to make this project a reality. We also don't have a specific location in mind; it could even be done in different locations, provided there are enough people participating.

 First of all, it will be a question of having a meeting place, a few parents who want their children to participate and adults (volunteers or others) who can help take care of the children in their educational need (teachers and assistants).

We therefore invite you to leave your name so that we can start this project as soon as possible!
