We teach our students a new set of ABCs that move well beyond reading, writing, and arithmetic. Our Buddhist Threefold ABCs are Awareness, Balance and Compassion. <strong>Awareness<\/strong> means 1) living a mindful and grateful life informed by love, the entrusting heart, and understanding, 2) being cognizant of the interconnectedness of life, and 3) becoming a life-long learner; and <strong>Balance<\/strong> denotes 1) inner composure and emotional intelligence, 2) living the middle way in daily situations, and 3) making right choices; <strong>Compassion<\/strong> signifies 1) being kind to and taking care of oneself and others, 2) respecting and being open to others, and 3) taking an active role in helping other beings and the world. They are considered threefold because each is interdependent with each other: you cannot have one without the other two components. For instance, awareness comprises of balance and compassion while compassion is subject to awareness and balance.<br \/>\nOur goal is to offer your child the very best Sunday School experience that is consistent with the Buddha\u2019s teachings, modern science, and psychology, effective educational pedagogy, as well as traditional and contemporary meditative training.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more information<\/strong><br \/>\nVisit our comprehensive Sunday School\u2019s web site for detailed information: Click <a href=\"http:\/\/bffct.org\/bff\/school\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">here<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.
