 The first light is the most refreshing,
The sprouting tender shoot, the most verdant,
The daybreak dewdrop, sparkling and moist,
The growing children, pure and sincere.
Pure denotes innocence
Innocence is human nature
Human nature is Buddha nature
A child has a pure and innocent nature, crystal clear and untainted. However, living in the present society which places emphasis on material gains and academic achievements, the Tzu Chi Happy Children’s Enrichment Class challenges to develop a child’s innate ability whilst cultivating his kind nature.
During the monthly class activities, Tzu Chi ‘mothers’ incorporate Jing Si Aphorisms in the lessons through fascinating stories and interesting games. The children thus learn through play in a nurturing environment.
Teaching activities and games that emphasize on teamwork are also conducted during the occasional outdoor activities in the parks. Through fun and games, children learn to cherish and respect Mother Nature.
