Some resources

I have been preparing the materials for the course.
Non of the books I got provide the materials for me to teach the way I want to.

Buddhanet has a very good list of online resources such as eBooks:

I am taking parts of some of the books there and reusing in them to make my own materials.
It would be good to ask for permission to post them here (the images might be copyrighted).

I was very suprised about the mix of quality in the resources available. I guess is understandable, but it also makes it clear why it is so important to ask teachers to follow a curricula such as the one by the Buddhist Council of NSW.

First post

I have offered myself as a volunteer to teach Buddhism to primary school kids and I decided to keep a log of my experiences and thoughts on how to do it best.

After six years of practising I do not have as much Buddhist experience as I wish I had, but I believe I can help others understand how they can make a difference in their lifes.

It is a big commitment, but people around reassured me I would do a fine job.
It is also a way of giving back by working in a non-profit like the NSW Buddhist Council. I find teaching a more satisfying way of helping than doing web development for them.

Well... This month I also helped moving about 200 boxes of books... but that is different.
