Time for Hobbies at the Bon Center

By Elizabeth Appleyard | Program Officer

The children at the Bon Center live a full life of study, sports, arts and play but also have time to cultivate private interests and have moments of quiet.

Here is the story of one student who had this to say, “People have hobbies to make themselves happy sometimes dancing, music, sport. I too have a hobby and that is watering and caring for plants in the garden and just wandering around the area. I like to pour water on the plants in the morning when I have finished my exercises and in the evening when our self- study time is over.

The big garden at my hostel is very beautiful and has lots of bushes. After I water the garden I roam around to all the corners of the garden. There are many things to see. There are many different types of flowers and bushes and sometimes my friends and I play hide and seek there. The flowers look fresh when I water them and it gives me pleasure. This is the happiest part of my day.”

Thank you for your continuing interest in the Bon people.

We thought you would be interested in this World Refugee Day bonus match available on the sister project Tibetan Bon Children. Available 20th June only! Funds will run out quickly!

Often the children who come to the center have loving families who are just unable to provide the care and good education that they want for their children. These Tibetan families fled their homeland and now live as refugees outside the country. The Bon center is there for them and gives children a well- rounded education which prepares them well for adult life as they are provided with academic, philosophical, life skills and spiritual instruction.

One student wrote about his experience at the Bon Center. “It was a cold winter night when I first arrived at the center with my father. I could not feed myself or walk properly. What could my poor father do for his children in a remote village. Joining the center was the turning point in my life.I was the smallest boy and I received lots of love and made friends and had a lot of fun. We studied together, played together and sometimes we argued but today all of them are in my heart and they made my time at the center a memorable one. I had a modern education and learned about ancient Bon culture, history, religion and about Tibetan scholars. After grade 12 I went on to study Tibetan Bon philosophy at the Bon Dialectic School where I am now.”

Thank you for your continuing interest in the Bon people.
