American Tragedy (2019)
Teaching children mindfulness accomplishes nothing
6 March 2024
I am a Christian who is very suspicous about teaching our children a practice that has emerged out of Zen Buddhist medtation practices. The young children in this documentary were saying exactly what their teachers wanted them to say. "I feel calm". "I feel happy". It was a lot of brain washing, but it has not stood the test of time and it never will. Since this documentary was produced, the suicide rate amoung children has risen by by over 27%.
These children are not being taught where true peace and joy comes from. The largest growing religious group in the US is NONE. Could there be a connection here?
