Over the past two weeks in our student assemblies, we have been reflecting on the following reading:
Tibetan Buddhist Prayer – The Four Immeasurable Attitudes
May all beings have happiness and its causes; (Love)
May all beings be freed from suffering and its causes; (Compassion)
May all beings constantly dwell in joy, transcending sorrow; (Joy)
May all beings dwell in equal love for those both close and distant; (Equanimity)
This ties beautifully with our recent Sanskrit prayer, which speaks to the happiness of all. Rather than simply wishing for happiness for ourselves and others, we have been discussing the actions we can take to bring this into reality—starting with those closest to us, extending to our school community, and reaching out to the wider world.
Through these conversations, we are encouraging students to think about kindness, inclusion, and how small, thoughtful actions can contribute to a more compassionate and connected world.
