Abstract

Contemplative education is learning infused with the experience of awareness, insight and compassion for oneself and others, honed through the practice of meditation and other contemplative disciplines. The rigor of these disciplined practices prepares the mind to process information in new and perhaps unexpected ways. Contemplative education as a set of pedagogical practices designed to cultivate conscious awareness in an ethical-relational context in which the values of personal growth, learning, moral living and caring for others are nurtured. It has been found that the contemplative education can be used in real life situations. The research studied students’ physical, mental, and social development, which affected their degree of personal virtue, academic proficiency, and physical capability. Therefore, the Facilitator realized the importance of the contemplative education in developing the potential of students as complete and well-rounded human beings.
