Vipassana for Deorali School students

GANGTOK, 28 Apr: Sikkim Against Addiction Towards Healthy India (SAATHI) in coordination with Padma Odzer Choeling School, Chongyek organized a day-long Anapana Meditation (Vipassana) for the students of Deorali Girls Sr. Sec School. 46 students of standards 8, 9 and 10 participated in the daylong session.
Vipassana means to see things as they really are; it is a logical process of mental purification through self-observation. Keepu Lepcha along with Ms Pushpa and Sanu Subba carried out the daylong session. The session included mediation, interaction with the students and painting. The aim of the event was to help students achieve peace of mind and lead a happy, useful life. The meditation was held in Dhamma Hall, Chongyek.

Students from Enchey Sr. Sec School, West Point Sr. Sec School, Modern Sec School and Tashi Namgyal Sr. Sec School will also take part in the forthcoming sessions.
