DHARMA KIDS PRACTICE GROUP 

The Dharma Kids Practice Group is a program for children in grades K-5. Together, we explore the teachings of the Buddha and plant the seeds of compassion, loving kindness, and mindfulness, for the benefit of all. We practice various meditations, engage in dharma discussions and inquiry, play cooperative games, create dharma-inspired art, participate in service projects and cultivate friendships. Lama Pema or Lama Yeshe offers a brief dharma talk at the beginning of each session. 

Our practice group is under the direction of Lama Pema Clark, and is led by practice group leaders and parent volunteers.

We meet at KSC twice a month, from 9 am -11:30 am on KSC’s Calm Abiding and Tonglen Sundays. We ask that parents be present at the Dharma Center (that is, upstairs in the Shrine Room or with the children) for their children to participate.

The potential to build a more compassionate century and promote a greater sense of oneness among the whole of humanity lies within the children of the world.
— His Holiness The Dalai Lama
