Dear Parents,
As a mother of a 9 year old child, I have a strong wish for her to live a happy and peaceful life. However, I understand that no matter how carefully I shelter and protect her, eventually she must face challenges in life on her own. The best thing I can do for her right now is to help plant and nurture the wholesome seeds of kindness and compassion, wisdom and patience in a spacious mind and an inclusive heart. Because only from that foundation, can she truly live a free and happy life.
Realizing the importance for young children to have an education program that focuses on nurturing the mind, embracing the heart, and building morality, Ven. Thich Tam Tien has graciously accepted our invitation to teach a Buddhism class for children (age of 6-12). He will apply The Buddha's teaching to strengthen the positive qualities in the young minds and hearts. Our Dharma master (we call “Thay” in Vietnamese) has spent many years studying and teaching Buddhism in the US. Thay has a Master's Degree in Buddhism from Harvard University. He is now pursuing a Doctorate Degree in Ministry at Boston University. He has lead many Buddhist retreats and camps for young children. Most of all is the love and care Thay has for nurturing the young generation who are the future of our society in general and Buddhism in particular.
The class will be held via ZOOM, EVERY THURSDAY from 8:00pm-8:45pm (EST) starting MAY 9, 2024. Class is free of charge. If you would like your child to join the class, please contact Dieu Bao via email: ngoc9999@gmail.com or text: 517-897-4437 to register.
With loving kindness and compassion,
Dieu Bao
