The Buddhist Way of Life | For Grade 2 students | book #2 by Winitha Jinasena

THE BUDDHIST WAY OF LIFE (For Grade 2 Students)

Based on the Government Curriculum  

It is a great pleasure to express my thoughts on this book (The Buddhist Way of Life - Book 2) which spreads the light of the noble Dhamma on children's mind. Especially, in this modern society, there are plenty of evils which penetrate children's mind with negative feelings and emotions. As a result of this unworthy situation, children would become restless and ungrateful towards humanity when they grow up. Today, it is an urgent requirment to purify the child's mind and to develop the noble qualities of humanity such as love and compassion. In this regard, Mrs. N.G.W.I. Jinasena contributes a great meritorious service to Buddhist Child education with this book.  

Mrs. Jinasena, who is a highly qualified and experienced educator, is extending her skillful creativity into Buddhist education.  

Mrs. Jinasena has presented this book in a simple style so that children can easily absorb the ideas contained. She gives not only the knowlege of Buddhism but also the noble feelings of loving-kindness, compassion, gentleness, sharing and wisdom...etc, which are known as the main pillars of Buddhism. It is important that the above mentioned virtues should be rapidly developed and strengthened in the minds of today's children to make them better citizens of tomorrow.
