Buddhist Temple Writing

Buddhist Temple Writing

On Tuesday the 14th of May, 7/8Sh, Ts, Bh and Tz went to the Buddhist temple. We started off by sorting out what group we were going to be in and then straight away went and had a tour around the Temple. I was in group one. We all went inside and sat down listening to the owner of the Temple and talked about what were the 3G 4G words. The 3G words are, Say Good Words, Do Good Deeds, and Think Good Thoughts. The 4G words were Giving Confidence, Giving Joy, Giving Hope and Giving Convenience.

After talking about the 3G 4G words, we went up stairs and explored the Arts/Pictures that some professional artist made and talked about them for a little while. After that we went into a library room. In the library room, we talked about what kind of things we see in a library and others things, but I can’t remember. Later after the library, we went outside and got a tattoo of the 3Gs and the 4Gs. I got a picture taken with Mikayla and Sharnarnia from one of the helpers too.

Once we’ve got a tattoo, we went in this little room to create these little flowers and sat down and watched a small video clip about a prince becoming a Buddhist. We answered some few questions about the video clip and then it was break time. We had a biscuit and water for our break and in my own opinion the biscuit wasn’t really nice, it taste like playdough.

Later on that day, we all gathered together, group 1 and 2, and walked to this big room. Some kids went up and did this thing where you had to pour water on each shoulder on this doll and say, I will do Good Deeds, Say Good Words and Think Good Thoughts. And also make a wish. We got given a small bell with the 3Gs and 4Gs on it and then it was time to go back to school. I enjoyed going to the Buddhist Temple for the second time and I would like to go back sometime soon.
