Outreach work at the Bristol Buddhist Centre
“A part-time schools and educational coordinator with experience as a teacher was employed. Her first priority was to create the resource pack for schools. The material was based on what teachers had been asking for, including a guide to Buddhist festivals, meditation and ‘stilling’ exercises, a form of sitting meditation.
“She also built up a database of local primary and secondary schools to which she could then send a mail shot explaining what the Centre could offer. This included lessons, assemblies and materials, for example a Buddhist Shrine Kit which was available for schools to borrow. Follow-up material was made available for the teachers, placed on the Centre’s website”.
In addition Kamalamani - the coordinator of the Vitarka project - has conducted her own review, which is available online here.

Well done, Kamalamani! And thanks for your faithful support of our work here at Clear Vision, where we beaver away always desperately short of money, in that project we share with you: bringing news of wisdom and compassion to young people.
Metta,
