Children’s Programs 兒童課程

Bodhi Class 菩提班

The monastery has Sunday classes for children from Preschool to Senior High School where we introduce your child to Buddhist morals, philosophy, practice, and etiquettes through fun activities.
The Bodhi Class aims to guide children into developing the right understanding of the Buddha’s teachings and to provide children with the moral basis to:

  • Make new friends and play cooperatively with others
  • React positively to social challenges
  • Recognise right and wrong in people and behaviours
  • Learn the benefits of patience, respect, sharing and caring
  • Understand about the Law of Cause and Effect
  • Learn about behaving within a monastery and the role of monks and nun.

本寺為學前幼稚園到高中的兒童,開辦週日班。透過有趣的活動,介紹佛教德行、精神、實踐,及禮儀。
菩提班主要宗旨,在讓兒童了解佛陀教導我們的正知正見,奠定道德的基礎,使他們:

  • 結交新朋友,與他人歡樂共處
  • 遇到挑戰,能積極面對處理
  • 能分辨人際交往中的對與錯
  • 學習有耐心、互信尊重、與人分享、有愛心的美德
  • 了解因果法則
  • 學習寺院的禮儀,及出家師父的角色
