Hin Hua High School, Klang, not only organises exhibitions, workshops, and seminars, but also specially arranged two outdoor learning experiences to further enrich their students’ education. The high school’s students were invited to visit Xiao En Memorial Park and Xiao En Centre, to experience the comprehensive front line operation process of the funeral industry and embark on a reflective journey of “life after death.” This approach aims to provide life education with a more comprehensive and profound perspective.
Perhaps due to already having some foundational ideas at the education exhibition, the students’ feedback from after walking through their first outdoor learning experience is unexpectedly mature and inspiring. This has both inspired and touched the life practitioners and the team.
“I feel that life and death are not necessarily opposites.”
“I realized there are many connections between living and dying.”
“I strongly agree that death is not the end, but rather forgetting is.”
“Not everyone has the chance to grow old and die naturally, which makes me more appreciative of life.”
“I hope to live the rest of my life with ‘the end in mind.’”
“I really like the explanation of the floor-to-ceiling windows at Xiao En Centre, which apparently helps to console the grieving individuals inside.”
“The ceremony for the silent mentors that day was incredibly moving and impactful.”
“The service provided by the life practitioners are not as simple as it appears to be.”
“I felt the process of the farewell rituals provides comfort to the living and helps avoid regrets.”
“After all, life only happens once, so we should live it with all our hearts.”
We thank Hin Hua High School for its recognition and systematic planning of life education. We hope that the second outdoor learning session on May 11 will provide the same level of inspiration to both teachers and students. We are fully committed and hold nothing back.
