Today in RE, we explored the concept of commitment. We began by exploring how followers of the Buddha show commitment to their ideas, their community, and the Buddha’s teachings. From meditating to developing mindfulness and practicing compassion, we discovered how dedication shapes the lives of Buddhists and their communities.
We then turned our focus inward, reflecting on our own commitments—whether to our families, friends, learning, or making the world a better place. These discussions inspired some truly thoughtful ideas about how we can each bring more positivity and kindness into the world. To end the lesson, we made peace lanterns, writing our wishes and commitments for a more peaceful world. This ties to a tradition followed by some British Buddhists on Hiroshima Day.
