The Secondary 1 youths started the lesson by exploring how people all want happiness and what gives them happiness. When asked "What is Happiness to you?", we received different kinds of responses such as basketball, online games, helping people and scoring well in exams.

To let them think deeper, the youths watched a short film "Joy Story" and shared what they have learnt on Padlet. Furthermore, a Mentimeter Survey was conducted where the class shared their thoughts and experiences with one another.

The learning points from this session creates a powerful support for the future topics of self-compassion, empathy, and compassion for others.

OMNI

Omni was launched in 2020. Its name is derived from the six-syllable mantra, “OM Ma NI Padme Hum,” and signifies one who is omniscient and knows literally everything, just like the Buddha. Adrian, Brian, Chieng Yee, Hiuyan, Liang See, Jasmine, Rachel, Richard and Xiu Jian guide the class, which comprises a group of secondary school students, along on their journey to great wisdom and compassion.
