About this Program
Our children’s programmes have been well received. Provide your children with the opportunity to learn mindfulness and to apply the wisdom of the Buddha in their daily lives.
Our popular Mindfulness for Young Children Programme will start again in Jan 2025! Led by experienced mindfulness teacher Venerable Faxun 法巽法师 and the Buddhist Library’s dedicated Sunday School Teachers, the classes are designed for children of school levels K1 all the way till Pri 6. The classes will include engaging activities that foster social- and emotional well-being, mindfulness games, Buddhist-themed activities and meditation.
About the classes
- The class will be divided into two: K1 to P2 as of 2025 and P3 to P6 as of 2025
- All lessons will be in English and Mandarin, so your children will get to practice and be exposed to some Mandarin
- Provisions will be made for non-Mandarin speakers so they are also engaged fully.
Key programmes and highlights as follows:
- Social- and emotional-learning and well-being
- Mindfulness Meditation
- Mindfulness Games/ Activities / Art and craft
- Dharma Education
- Puja and sharing of merits
- (We are also planning to organize Dharma education for parents of registered children, in the form of regular teaching by our Buddhist Library resident monks as well as adhoc programmes. If we can finalize these plans, we will try to provide updates on this webpage.)
