Future Children
Simplicity living with wisdom
Our physical, mental, spiritual and emotional well-being depends on how much we understand nature and our connection to the Universe. The wisdom of harmonious living on earth should be cultivated from a young age. Good living principles and life-styles that are beneficial to us throughout our life need to be learned form youth.
Knowing how human bodies energetically connect to the universe will create a great confidence for living on earth. We can understand why we have pain and tiredness, good days and bad days. We can make preparations for the bad days and be relaxed on good days.
More and more children no longer connect to the earth. Their lives embrace no farming framework nor planting experiences. Their curiosity nowadays wanders to electronic technology, believing technology alone holds the secret to going beyond the Universe, not knowing that is where we all come from.
Once children start to learn the wisdom and knowledge accumulated for thousands of years, and start to practice them throughout their daily life, their heart will be peaceful and their mind will be focused. Sages who came to this planet helped human beings survive and thrive, and by teaching this wisdom from generation to generation. Now, their wisdom, once matured, will help human beings survive and preserve the Earth.
Many common, well-known plants are medicinal in nature. We bring our children to collect Eucalyptus tree leaves, and then come back to make medicinal salves, and healing pads. Children learn to identify the herbs and pick them up, working on how to process them after picking them, then we encourage them to make something useful.
Cultivating True Authentic Human Nature:
Sages teach us that in order to cultivate our true authentic nature we need to connect with the heart. Love, compassion, wisdom and positive energy will automatically flow from our hearts because our true authentic nature is within our own hearts. All the criteria we list below will become effortless to us. We will naturally give love, peace, and harmony to others and to the world, and provide selfless service to the planet.
· Respect the elderly
· Connect to nature
· Self-motivation
· Willing to help others
· Practicing discipline
· Reduce wasteful living
· Protect the environment and save Earth's resources
Modern life encourages people from their youth to disconnect with the heart, and be distracted with all kinds of materials pleasures or toys and electronic games. Such material pleasures, when taken to excess, encourage our new generation to live a life style of self-indulgence and self-centeredness. This disconnects them from their true nature. Fear, greed, jealousy, worry, and depression become far more common to the young generations. How should we bring back their true authentic nature? These are the essential teachings we provide here.
Wise living habits need developing from an early age. This learning is for self-realization, self-growth, being useful to the world, cultivating a true authentic genuine human being who loves self and others. Passing on such good values and wisdom is the true love as taught us by the sages of each epoch. Once a good seed is planted in the heart, it will germinate and grow into a big tree.
Mindful Healthy Living
We would like to provide an on-going weekly harmonious living program for children when fund is available. This educational program not only teaches the Chinese language, but focuses on learning the philosophy of Human-Nature Harmony and Chinese medicine principles behind the language, and its inherent wisdom which supports a healthy lifestyle.
Our teaching materials and concepts are developed from traditional Chinese teachings, focusing on humankind’s interrelationships as well as our relationship with the earth and the universe.
Our goal is to help young children cultivate healthy living choices that benefit physical, mental and spiritual growth. This information will allow youth to catch most health issues early on, before sickness ever develops.
Art, language, and nature
Our program will use art, language, and nature to introduce medicine principle, health wellness and philosophy, all of which will illustrate how humans are related to the universe. From these experiences, children will understand the human body, how it works, how it is affected by food, eating habits, drinking habits, living habits, environmental factors, emotions, and so on.
Most importantly, these principles will lead to healthy living and a healthy human body and in turn, a healthy relationship to the world.
