On Wednesday 10th of March Pre-Prep 2 visited the Wat Bhuddhapadipa Thai Temple in Wimbledon. We had a lovely time listening to the stories of the Buddha’s birth and the philosophy of Buddhist teachings. The boys also practised Meditation with the Monk and asked wonderful questions. The boys enjoyed a walk through the tranquil gardens and marvelled at the peaceful environment. Thanks to everyone who contributed to our donation, we raised a total of £63.40.

This is what the boys had to say on their return;
It was very fun and exciting. We learnt how to meditate by walking and sitting silently. Benjamin Martis-Jones
We drew a nice picture of the Temple and I liked walking through the gardens. There was a huge lotus flower floating in the water. Tenam Cuauhtemoc
I liked the part where the monk did the meditation and I liked the big lotus flower that was floating in the water. Benedict Mangat.
I liked the Temple as it had lots of gold and it had walls with paintings of the stories of Buddhism. Henry Van Spall
It was very nice of the monk to teach us about the stories of the Buddha. Luca Buttaci
