Sundays 10.30 am - first Sunday of the month
"Much more than a creche" The Dharma Kids Club is coordinated by Gesar, who has been a Buddhist from birth and is a registered high school teacher with primary experience in SA. It is for Primary School Age children only.

Based on last year's attendance and on feedback from the children and parents, Gesar has created a year-long structured program. Children from 6 to12 years old will be introduced to the teachings of the Buddha in interactive sessions involving such activities as games, stories, meditation and yoga.

In the Dharma Kids Club children gain a basic understanding of the Buddha's teachings and learn to apply positive human values in daily life. The program structure is based on 'The 16 Guidelines for a Happy Life', a text that forms the basis for Essential Education (EE), which is an initiative of Lama Yeshe, the founder of the FPMT and Buddha House. Essential Education shows people how to be kind and wise, and presents Buddhist ideas in everyday language. The '16 Guidelines for a Happy Life' is based on inspirational values "to make life better", which can be applied to how we think, act and relate to others and how we find meaning in life.
In the last session of the year we will organize an "end of year celebration", which may be an out-door excursion.

Dharma Kids Club is at 10.30 am on the first Sunday of the month, except in school holidays or on Father's Day. Parental supervision is not necessary. Cost is a gold-coin donation.

Buddha House is looking for ideas and volunteers (!) to establish a dharma kids club for pre-school ages. If you can help please contact Ven. Jamyang at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it or though the office at 8333 2824.
