The Buddhist Way of Life | For Grade 6 students | book #6 by Winitha Jinasena

THE BUDDHIST WAY OF LIFE

(For Grade 6 Students) Based on the Government Curriculum (New Syllabus)

I had a good fortune of working under Mrs. Winitha Jinasena as a teacher as well deputy Principal at Gothami Balika Vidyalaya, Colombo 10.

As a superior, she displayed qualities befitting a lady brought up in the traditional Buddhist Way of Life. We observed her ability to adopt the virtues described in Buddhism such as Mettā, Karunā, Muditā and Upekkhā in handling the various chores in the day to day life as a Principal of a populous school efficiently.

As a highly qualified, experienced educationist, who served as a lecturer of the teacher training colleges and as a Principal of two leading Buddhist Girl's Schools, Gothami Balika Vidyalaya and Anula Vidyalaya, she helped her students to assimilate the Buddhist principles and guided them towards a simple way of living, rich with high moral values.

In Buddhist Way of Life Book 6 (New Syllabus) the Buddhist philosopy is forwarderd in a simple but attractive manner so that the young minds could imbibe the facts easily. Each chapter relates the values taught in Buddhism in day to day activities.

These moral values are thus introduced to the young minds effortlessly and effectively.

I wish her succes and hope she would continue writing to feed the younger population starved of good books with valuable content.
