High school is a critical period filled with complex thoughts, academic pressure, and immense personal potential. To help students navigate this crucial time and start the new semester with clarity, Cheongju Hightech High School took a highly innovative approach: dedicating time for every single student to look inward.
According to a report by Buddhist Public News, the school hosted a massive ‘Character Education Mind Subtraction Meditation Camp.’ Here is a look at how taking a moment to pause is transforming their classrooms.
๐ A School-Wide Commitment to Character
To mark the beginning of the new semester, Cheongju Hightech High School ensured that character education was front and center. From Monday the 9th to Tuesday the 24th, the school rolled out the meditation camp for all 24 of its classes.
To provide the highest quality experience, the school invited three professional instructors from the Character Education Support Group of the Society of Human Completion Education. Operating four classes per day over a total of six sessions, every student was given the dedicated time and space to learn the mind subtraction method.
๐ก Beyond Just Calming the Mind
Many people mistakenly believe that meditation is simply about sitting quietly and forcing the mind to be calm. However, the mind subtraction method goes much deeper.
Through this specialized camp, the high school students were given the opportunity to:
- Effectively organize their complex thoughts and daily stresses.
- Deeply and objectively reflect on themselves.
- Discard negative burdens and naturally envision a positive self-image.
Rather than just temporarily suppressing their stress, the students learned a practical tool to clear their minds from the root.
๐ Infinite Potential and Positive Energy
The ultimate goal of the camp was to create a ripple effect of positivity throughout the entire school environment.
Principal Im Yong-hee expressed great optimism about the program’s impact, stating:
“We are helping students discover their own infinite potential and positive energy. We are looking forward to seeing the students change, the classrooms come alive, and the school transform.”
When students are equipped with a clear mind and positive energy, the entire atmosphere of a school can shift. By prioritizing the inner well-being of its youth, Cheongju Hightech High School is setting a powerful example of what true character education looks like.
