Youth Dharma

Buddhism for the next generation!

 

By teaching children to have a good heart and be kind to others, they grow up to be very good human beings. With this good heart, they can benefit others so much. Their hearts become good, tolerant, and kind. There is less negative karma in their lives and also less harm to others, which means that other sentient beings receive peace and happiness from your child. Your child can become the source of peace and happiness for all sentient beings, the happiness of this life and of all future lives, as well as liberation from samsara and the highest happiness: enlightenment.
–Lama Zopa Rinpoche

FPMT provides Dharma practice materials, support, children’s classes and camps, and a whole secular organization just for youth and young adults!
