The Naughty Spirit that Wanted to be Green Tara:
A Taster of Abiding Heart’s Primary Curriculum

I would like to share with you a taster of the Abiding Heart’s primary curriculum content. This section is from
Just Being: Compassionate Weeks curriculum for Class 6-8 (age 12-15). The following story and activities are an example of an immersive week exploring socio-emotional themes using the Buddhist pedagogy of listening, contemplating, and meditating.
The following contemplative story aims to provide support for children who experience jealousy and struggle to manage it. The story is told to the whole class as a way to awaken self-reflection, taking responsibility for one’s actions and the courage to accept what we can't have.
