恆心教育™宗旨

The Abiding Heart Education™️ approach offers a specially made or bespoke Experiential Buddhist Education for Buddhist communities around the world. Over the past past 7 years we developed this Bespoke Experiential Buddhist Curriculum and Teacher Training catering to kindergarten, primary (class 1-8) and high school (class 9-12). In this unique Experiential Buddhist Education, all subjects taught from kindergarten through to class 12 are fully immersed within the Buddhist view, meditation and how that informs everyday life activities and being.

Abiding Heart Education™️ 為兒童的幼兒園和小學（1-8 班）教育提供了一項方法，它包含了潛在發展的佛教儀軌。在這種新的、獨特的學習中，從幼兒園到 8 年級的所有科目都完全融合佛教規範、觀念、靜思以及如何帶入日常生活及活動中。

Abiding Heart Education™️ 宗旨的主要目的是根據每個人的能力，重新啟發我們的佛性。我們以學習和潛在發展的佛教儀軌為主導；一個既具有體驗性又具有變化性的過程。我們通過兒童課程的內容、教師培訓課程和實際理論或技巧方法來做到這一點。通過讓自己沉殿在這種存在方式和學習過程中，教師和孩子們都可以在自己的內心發現一個敞開、柔軟和明亮的空間。這種敞開的本質是愛，它是所有真正精神的精髓，最終超越了對自己的渴望和關懷。它是開悟智慧的核心。

佛教之路是轉變性的。這是一個重新發現我們內心幸福的過程。通往這種決心的道路始於理解，並通過直接體驗而內化。通過這種方法，我們學會在日常生活中應用我們的洞察力或內心的理解，逐漸形成由菩提心轉換的新習慣。這種學習方式與施泰納（教育學家）的兒童教學法有共通之處，它涉及頭腦、心靈和行為，並教我們從生活中學習如何通往精神覺醒的過程中。

Abiding Heart Education™️ 宗旨基於這樣的理解，即從佛教的角度來看，精神發展是指由對個人（對自己和他人）的愛和慈悲或善的力量所激發的啟蒙精神。佛教通過頭腦（理解/了解）和心靈（體驗/靜思）的有益學習方式，在我們生活的各個方面促進和培養健康的習慣和生活方式。真正的轉變發生在我們與生俱來的智慧本質和慈悲心得到充分表達，使我們彼此能夠深深地關心自己和世界。

Understanding

Abiding Heart's Experiential Buddhist Education

The path chosen here has its roots in the experiential and transformative Buddhist wisdom. It is a process of re-discovering our inner well-being. The path to such determination begins with understanding and deepens through direct experience. In this approach, we learn to apply our insights or heart understanding in everyday life, gradually forming new habits that are motivated by bodhichitta. This style of learning is in common with Steiner’s children’s pedagogy that engages the head, heart and doing, and teaches us to learn about life from life, in the journey towards spiritual awakening.

The Abiding Heart's Experiential Buddhist Education™️ approach rests on the understanding that inner development, from the Buddhist perspective, means the spirit of enlightenment motivated by love and compassion for the individual (for oneself and others) or by the power of goodness. This wholesome way of learning through engaging the head (understanding/knowing) and the heart (experiential/meditation), promotes and nurtures healthy habits and ways of being in every aspect of our lives. True transformation occurs when our innate qualities of wisdom and compassion are fully expressed, enabling us to care deeply for ourselves, for each other, and for the world.

通過 Abiding Heart Education™️ 方法，老師是孩子接受教育質量和相關性的核心。教師為這項任務做準備的過程是一個關鍵指標，不僅是未來學習的質量和深度，也是自我轉變和康復的潛力。通過這種方式，我們的教育方法鼓勵積累功德，發自內心希望正確的因緣能讓孩子和老師在解脫的道路上繼續前進。為了支持這一點，Abiding Heart 的教學方法和課程內容鼓勵慶祝我們共同的人性，激發創造力、好奇心、善良和沈思，所有這些都是為了培養兒童和教師的內在覺醒。

從佛教的角度來看，教育可以理解為揭示我們的思想本質。我們與生俱來的基本善良不僅僅是一個需要充滿無盡信息的空容器。相反，我們與生俱來的善良，充滿品質和智慧，正在等待表達，並通過我們（似乎）轉化的自我意識的裂縫中閃耀。
