There are several insights that could be gained from varying cultures and philosophies. One well-known philosophy is that of Siddhartha Gautama. Siddhartha Gautama, or more popularly known as the Buddha, was an Indian prince who left his home in search of enlightenment. After a long journey, he returned many years later with a new belief system that places conduct, thought, and meditation as key components of his philosophy.
His noble “Eightfold path” includes:
- Right understanding
- Right intention
- Right speech
- Right action
- Right livelihood
- Right effort
- Right mindfulness
- Right concentration
As a Chinese school in Bayside, New York, our teachers and staff at Asian American Coalition For Education believe that several lessons could be taken from different cultures and beliefs. As said in the philosophy of Siddhartha Gautama, it is important to teach children to put good and honest intentions into actions as this will breed good character.
Because awareness and cultural diversity bring many benefits to children, we make it a point to foster cultural exchanges among students.
