This visit was a first-hand extension of their classroom studies on Buddhism as part of our Religious Education curriculum. Learning experiences like this help to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world experience, enabling students to understand, develop respect and appreciation for religious diversity.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ember22768\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">During the visit, students had a unique opportunity to learn more about Buddhist beliefs and practices. They observed sacred rituals, including offerings of incense and flowers, mindful breathing and chanting sessions in the temple. Students enjoyed a thought-provoking Q&amp;A session with a resident Buddhist priest, providing students with the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about Buddhist teachings and ceremonies.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ember22769\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">Visits like these provide our students with an opportunity to learn about different world religions &#8211; fostering open-minded students who value tolerance and demonstrate a broad understanding of the world around them. Our students embraced the experience with curiosity and respect for the religious practices they witnessed.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ember22770\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">We extend our gratitude to the facilitators and Form Tutors Roberta Prebbie, Mabel Gavor, Cindy Allnice Dela, and Daniel Tabi Adjei for their guidance and support throughout this enriching experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 13 May 2025, Class 5 pupils had the privilege of visiting the Nichiren Shoshu Hokkeji Buddhist Temple in Ablekuma, Greater Accra.
