The role of nature

As being ethical in our way of thinking and doing represent a very important value at our school, our teachers teach us to not only learn about nature, but to also learn from nature.

​

Whatever we study in the curriculum, we go extra steps beyond the topic studied by always asking 'How would Nature solve this problem?'. 

​

At Hoa Nghiem Buddhist College, biomimicry has become a thinking process that we activate in all areas of our learning.

The role of Buddhism

IMG_0277.HEIC

Through daily practice of meditation and the teaching of Buddhist principles, we learn to seek wisdom by looking and listening deeply, fully engaging in the present moment and taking responsibility for our thoughts and actions.

​

The Buddhist practice is a learning journey requiring the same mind that we use to investigate any topic in any subject; it challenges us to not take any concept or truth for granted, but to question and observe.

​

Through our learning journey of the Buddhist philosophy, we learn to engage ourselves in a path of introspective thinking and ethical conduct that contributes to bring us happiness, understanding and acceptance to all.
