In 2022, MWE developed a program called the Five Wisdom Pathways for The Middle Way School of the Hudson Valley to help orient MWS families to Buddhism. The program required all adults with children enrolled at the school to commit to 3 hours of study and practice per year. The first hour was a general overview about Buddhist history, philosphy and practice. Then parents could choose from one of five pathways: academics, arts, contemplative practice, movement, and cultural exploration. In this video, Dominique Side expertly delivers the overview portion of the Five Wisdom Pathway Program. We also recommend Dominiques book Discovering Buddhism. Dominique has also hosts a robust website for teachers engaged in Buddhist education called Windows Into Buddhism.

Angélica Paljor wrote this interview with Sandra Cisneros published in August, 2022 on Lion’s Roar entitled, “The Sacred Work of Sandra Cisneros.” The author speaks candidly about her own struggles, and how writing has been a practice that has helped transform them. An essential ingredient in Buddhist education is seeing how others integrate their view and practice into their work, art, and lives. Cisneros' example is vital as students work on developing their own voice, and considering how their view and self-expression are inextricable.
