Matra's Shave for Vesak page

Fundraising for Pal Buddhist School Limited

Story

Shave4Vesak is a Pal Buddhist School student-led initiative that invites us to conquer our fears and cut off their hindrances, greed, hatred and delusion. The shaving of hair symbolises the letting go of ego and sensual desires for external beauty, and embracing the realisation that it is our inner beauty that radiates foremost. Shave4Vesak also aims to visualise the Buddha's teaching of "Renunciation through Liberation." Far too many people in society hold on to the chains of placing excessive importance on something as temporary as their hair. As a result, they are the most vulnerable to the restrictive chains of sensual desire. Shave4Vesak helps individuals to let go of the chain of sensual desire and realise that external looks do not define a person.

Pal Buddhist School is a secular, independent, co-educational school accredited by the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA). The School, a not-for-profit organisation registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profit Commission, accepts students for Years 3 to 12 from all religions and ethnicity. Establised in 2012, the School strives for academic excellence amidst inculcating in students moral values of compassion, loving-kindness, gratitude and respect and caring for others. Pal Buddhist School has excellent teacher-student ratio of 1:12 and is also a leader in 4D paperless educational teaching and innovation. We have been operating out of a small, 2-storey rented premises. Unlike the more established Schools, we do not have sporting fields, canteen, assembly hall, a swimming pool, and many other standard school facilities. We hope to raise funds towards the purchase of land which will allow the provision of facilities to enrichment our students??? experience of open, honest and real education.
