In order to create more peace and steadiness which will be the good foundation for the students who are preparing for a new school year and to give the students chances of learning, exchanging the knowledge about Buddhism and developing their morality as well as their personality from their early time.

In the evening of February 12th, 2017 (January 16th, Rooster Year), Dream Sky English Center cooperated with Hoa Phuc Pagoda (Hoa Thach village, Quoc Oai District, Ha Noi city) in organizing a field trip for their students to have exchanges about Buddhism with the students from filial piety course of Hoa Phuc Pagoda.

Returning to the peaceful atmosphere of the pagoda, the students of Dream Sky Xuan Mai Center were instructed by the monks of Hoa Phuc Pagoda in praying to Buddha and saluting someone respectfully. After that, both the representatives of Hoa Phuc Pagoda’s classes and Dream Sky center introduced the study program one after another.

During the field trip, the students met and listened to the lecture of Junior Venerable Thich Tam Hoa – The Abbot of Hoa Phuc Pagoda and Junior Venerable Thich Tam Giai, a monk of the pagoda about children’s obligations to their parents, and respect, gratefulness to their teachers along with solidarity and love among students.

The meaningful teachings from the monks impressed the students and it really helped them grow goodness seeds inside their souls.

Next, all the students of the two groups became friends by playing some group games directed by Mr. Top and Mr. Scott – the foreign teachers from Dream Sky Center.

The giggles, the laughs, the shining and innocent faces of children playing in happiness certainly dispelled tiredness and worries from livelihood of those who are being parents. Instead,It is peaceful and happiness from compassion that penetrated attendees of the event.
