Chairs and Cushions

There are so many aspects of our schooling that are different from other schools. As you can see, we sometimes sit on chairs at tables.

And at other times, such as every morning when we meditate, we sit on cushions on the floor. Sitting with our legs crossed is the best position for meditation. Just as Buddha was sitting cross-legged when he was enlightened 2,600 years ago, we hope to be enlightened by our lessons each day.

Cricket

At the Daylesford Dharma school we believe that a healthy mind exists in a healthy body. While it's true we spend the first part of each day meditating and quietening our minds, we are also kids and that means we have a lot of energy that we like to release while playing games, bushwalking and doing sports.

Here some of us are playing cricket at lunchtime with Zephyr's dad Patrick.
