Dharma for Kids


Kids, ages 5 – 10, learn basic Buddhist ideas like the importance of loving everyone, being generous, what to do when we get angry, and how to calm down.  

We begin at 9am with singing"The Liberating Prayer", then we have a brief teaching/story (typically about 15 minutes), followed by a hands-on activity, and sometimes a short meditation using our imagination. After class ends at about 9:45am we have snacks.

Parents are encouraged to sit in on the class and will be able to use what is learned in class throughout the week. Practicing meditation together can support a family life filled with loving-kindness, peace and harmony.

The teachings utilize traditional Buddhist stories and meditations from the books of Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, adapted for modern kids.
