Xavier Jesuit School Cambodia introduced “Mindfulness Meditation” to the kindergarten and primary school students during their morning assembly and lunch break.

It was quite a challenge to get the kids to sit still, stay calm and close their eyes while concentrating on their own breathing.

Through hard work and a lot of patience, the teachers were able to overcome the difficulties and successfully accompany and guide the students through a mindfulness meditation exercise every day.

Now the students are very familiar with this daily activity. As soon as prayerful music is played their faces reveal enjoyment of this quiet and peaceful activity. Through mindfulness meditation, the students will develop a gentle and peaceful character, which is central to their Buddhist culture and tradition. [Xavier Jesuit School Cambodia]
