Happy Children day + Idea + One method + suggestion

[Guest guest]

Respected Friends,

 

Here is a wish for you, an idea for happier you and India, one method to

realize the dream idea, and a suggestion to you.

 

Wish

--------

I wish you a very happy Children day.

May all children get love and opportunity to live a decent life.

May all children grow into bright and happy world citizens.

 

Idea

-------

The idea is to integrate character building and mind mastering moral

education with the usual literacy/technical education.

This helps a student become a happy, peaceful, noble, and

productivecitizen.

 

If the future citizens and leaders of India are bright, India shall surely

shine !

 

Bright students/youth => Bright future generation and future leaders=>

Bright India

 

In these times of increased competition and stress, mastering the mind is

essential for happiness of both the individual and the nation.

 

One method (of realizing the idea)

--------------

There could be several ways of imparting moral education - story telling,

teaching good habits, Pranayaam (Yoga), Meditation.

 

One very effective method, which I have experienced myself is

Vipassana/Anapana Meditation.

Vipassana/Anapana Meditation is a simple, practical, non-sectarian and

scientific method to achieve real peace of mind and to lead a happy, useful

life. This path is essentially " come and see " and requires no blind faith. Also,

the benefits are immediate (here and now), as one practices.

 

This idea is explained in detail (with reference links to various

introductory articles) in the following link.

Suggestion

-----------------

I suggest all students to try Vipassana/Anapana Meditation.

Children having 8+ years age can practice Anapana.

Children having 15+ years age can practice Vipassana.

 

Vipassana/Anapana meditation is beneficial to all children, students, and

adults.
