Dhamma School facilitators who attended the learning session.

On Saturday 15 November, Nalanda Dhamma School facilitators gathered for a meaningful self-care and learning session led by Sis. Sunanda. The training offered a gentle pause from their usual responsibilities, guiding them to reconnect with the essence of mental cultivation as taught by the Buddha. Through learning and quiet practice, facilitators experienced mindfulness of breathing to deepen calmness and clarity, while also strengthening their confidence to lead simple meditation sessions for students.

Meditation is a central pillar of the Buddha’s teachings. It is therefore important that facilitators develop their own practice well, benefit from it personally, and in turn guide young learners steadily along this wholesome path. The session concluded with a sense of renewed inspiration and inner balance.

May the facilitators continue to grow in mindfulness, compassion, and wisdom, and may their sincere efforts bring much benefit to the students they guide. May their practice of self-care support their well-being and enrich their service for the community. Sadhu.
