Y1 and Y2 of Shrewsbury House, a prep school in Surbiton, enjoyed a peaceful and fascinating visit to The Buddhapadipa Temple in Wimbledon. The monks gave a warm welcome and shared stories about temple life, important Buddhist symbols and key teachings. The boys especially loved the short mindfulness and meditation session, which everyone found wonderfully calming, and they impressed the monks with their thoughtful questions! Afterwards, there was an opportunity to explore the beautiful temple grounds and enjoy snacks together in the sunshine. It was a memorable introduction to Buddhism that supported learning in RE over the last half-term.
