Mahayana New Year

Learners have explored Mahayana New Year, looking at how  Mahayana Buddhists celebrate and their beliefs. They spent time in their assemblies and tutor times, learning about the Mahayana New Year. Post 16 classes visited the Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre in Ulverston, which is a Kadmpa Temple for world peace. The classes went for a walk to the beach, exploring the grounds and experiencing mindfulness activities. They then had a look around the Temple and joined in a 10 minute guided meditation, led by one of the temple leaders.

This was a lovely trip, allowing the learners to practice activities they had learned about, talk to practising Buddhists. This was an opportunity for the learners to experience and understand how different beliefs are celebrated and practised, daily.
