“Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.” – Buddha
On May 16, 2024, the students of classes X-C and X-D presented an assembly titled “Zen in the Chaos: Navigating Life Through Buddha’s Teachings.” This assembly was specially prepared to mark the occasion of Buddha Purnima, celebrating the birth and enlightenment of Lord Buddha, and to highlight principles such as optimism, equanimity, kindness, and compassion.
The assembly commenced with a soulful morning prayer by Aanchal, Arihant, Aarav, Anshika, Devika, Kuhu, Saisha, Naitik, Luvish, T. Manasa, Aishwarya, Aryan, Ayush, and Sahil. This was followed by a graceful Ganesh Vandana performance by Purvi, Drishti, and Vrinda, adding to the veneration. Shreeansh and Prabhansh then shared the thought for the day, followed by a shloka recitation by Amit and Keya. The news segment was presented by Aniruddh, Pragyan, Harshul, and Vajra. Devansh and Ryaan delivered a meaningful self-composed poem, which was followed by an interactive talk by Vidhan, Shaurya B., Anshima, Aashi, Adarsh, Hriday, and Nandika.
The choir, consisting of Anchal, Anshika, Devika, Kuhu, Saisha, Ridaan, Yash Vardhan, and T. Manasa, was accompanied by Aarav, Jasmeet, Nandika, Sarnav, and Vinayak on instruments, creating a harmonious atmosphere. A powerful skit by Heramb, Divya, Ayush, Ryaan, Anshima, and Hridyanshi, which included a contemporary dance piece by Adwita, Akshita, Anushka, Gaurika, Falguni, Myra, Vanya, and Vanshika, showcased human suffering and the pursuit of peace.
The digital presentation was prepared by Udayveer and Divyansh, and the soft boards were artistically done by Divya, Lakshman, Maishaa, Myra, Sahana, Vrinda, Yashika, Anant, and Arnav. Cards, folders, and e-invites were crafted by Anchal, Vitabhay, Maishaa, Vrinda, and Ranbir. A beautiful painting of Lord Buddha was created by Sahana. The Vote of Thanks was delivered by Ramya and Ayush. Lastly, the comperes Anika, Ayush, Meer, Nandika, and Shashwat skilfully knit the entire program together, ensuring a seamless and impactful assembly.
