Buddha Purnima
To honour the birth and enlightenment of Gautam Buddha, Pre-Primary students of Ahlcon International School celebrated ‘Buddha Purnima’ with utmost veneration and sanctity on Thursday, 7th May 2020 through a virtual pedestal.
Children were explained that Lord Buddha was born on a full moon day of the Vaishakha month as per the Hindu Calendar and this day is also known as Buddha Jayanti. They were shown a video that gave them the glimpse of the life of Prince Siddhartha who chose the path of wisdom and enlightenment over worldly desires. Children felt motivated to follow and practice the preaching of Lord Buddha in their life. Some of thechildren dressed up as ‘Buddha’ and even chanted the famous - 'Buddham Sharanam Gacchami" mantra while others spoke confidently about the significance of the day. It was heartening to see how the little cherubs of Pre-Primary exhibited their drawing skills and made thebeautiful portraits of Buddha come alive.
Superb sketches and chanting of Mantras by the most innocent age.
ReplyDeleteSuch celebrations are of great significance in teaching children gratitude and generosity at this tender age. Appreciations to teachers and parents for igniting that spark in them.
