The details of this discussion address the creation of pure lands in Buddhism, representing love and awakening, and the practice of mindfulness to transform our inner and outer environment. By practicing mindfulness, we generate peace and happiness, integrating loved ones and the community in this quest. The consolidation of the family and collaboration with the school are essential to support the children. Teachers must spiritually guide the children, reflecting a society based on love and understanding.
