Start with practice!

As we restart the classes, it is time to remind ourselves of the importance of one’s own mind and its practices. More than 60 students and teachers of Lhomon Education took part in three hours of mindfulness practice. The program is to create an environment for students and teachers to remind ourselves of the importance of mindfulness practice and undergo practice experience in a group. This is also a reflection time for us. The participants are reminded that, of the body, the speech, and the mind, the most important entity is the Mind. The mind is more important than anything else. If we don’t recognize it, there is something big missing in our life. They are briefed that one’s own mind is the most precious asset one will ever have. Thus, we have to be generous with it by giving time to practice.

The practice program is interspersed with a photo presentation of mindfulness activities carried out in different schools of Bhutan. The photos collected from the camp participants (teachers) of 15 schools are presented to encourage our students to practice more and appreciate them. Few video messages about mindfulness are also screened to highlight the technical aspect of the practice and its importance to the participants.

The mindfulness practice has become an indispensable part of LME from its inception. The practice will continue every day in class.
