What are the essential elements of “Happy Learning”? How can we create the conditions that will create “Happy Learning”? In this brief presentation, we will look at how the rise of the Mindfulness Movement in the West has brought Buddhist teachings into the classroom and how we can apply this to our own learning environments. We will consider how the Teachings of the Buddha can be used as a model for developing a happy classroom with happy teachers and happy students.
