Why and How of Spiritual Education

Spiritual education is presented as a holistic approach to developing children, focusing not only on intellectual knowledge but also on character, mind, body, and soul. The talk emphasizes that education should inspire children to respond actively to new information rather than passively absorb it, recognizing that children are born ignorant and need to be taught in ways that challenge and engage them.Spiritual education is about bringing children into awareness of a greater reality beyond themselves, nurturing their innate potential through balanced development of body, mind, and soul. It prepares them to face life’s challenges with love, wisdom, and practical skills, fostering a deeper understanding of life’s mysteries and promoting a richer, more meaningful existence.To support this work, go to: https://www.ananda.org/support/treasures/
