Several years ago I attended a Zen meditation session at Alfred University. The teacher, Dr. Benjamin Howard, continues to keep me on his mailing list and I receive Buddhist quotes periodically in my inbox. Today instead of the usual quote I received instead a link to an article that appeared in a recent issue of the New York Times.
With the sound of their new school bell, the fifth graders at Piedmont Avenue Elementary School here closed their eyes and focused on their breathing, as they tried to imagine “loving kindness” on the playground.
Follow this link to the Association for Mindfulness in Education. There is hope afterall that perhaps we can change the world one breath at a time.
