Bodhi Kids & Family Corner

We all have an extremely special opportunity to support a growing Sangha which includes many families!  Incorporating the Dharma into our lives can sometimes be challenging in a Western country where values often seem to be at odds with Buddhist practice.

    How might we:

        introduce the teachings of the Buddha to our children?
        model compassion and kindness within our family?
        encourage practice in the context of busy lifestyles filled with distractions?  
        support the Western Sangha so that Buddhism can flourish

We need your help to raise $3,000 for the Bodhi Kids and Family Corner which will include books for parents, picture books for young children, and readings for teenagers as they explore growing up with Buddhism in the West!  

Librarian Susan Sayre sees this as a wonderful cozy nook where families can spend time reading or checking out books.  She hopes that the family corner will bring young people into the library, and will support their parents as well. Susan says, "I can't wait to see those little chairs in that corner!" 

Our goal is to have the Bodhi Kids and Family Corner ready for the KTD Family Weekend May 18-20 during which Lama Dudjom Dorjee will teach on "Living in Harmony."

Shower blessings on your home, community and beyond.
