A young man, whose family had traditionally performed a ritual during the Elephant Festival for generations, had yet to learn the skill when his father passed away. With the ritual set to take place in four days, how would he deal with the situation?
REFLECTION

Children, have you cultivated the wisdom and determination like the Bodhisatta in your learning process?

“Wisdom” guides us in the right direction;
“Firm determination” ensures continuous progress.
The two complement each other, helping us to achieve every small goal.

May we take the Bodhisatta as our example, develop our wisdom and determination, make unwavering efforts to move towards wholesome goals. May we study happily and wisely, and live happily and wisely every day.
