SUMMARY:Kids Sangha & Dharma School – English
DESCRIPTION:The Kids Service begins each Sunday morning from 10:30-10:50 am.

What happens to you and what happens to the people around you if you’re always angry?” \nThink of this…if we get used to one scoop of ice cream\, we might start wanting two scoops. We would just want more and more and we would never get enough. It would become harder and harder to get what we need to make us happy.

A flower shrine known as a hanamido\, is set up at the front of the main altar as a symbol of Lumbini Garden. In the hanamido\, stands a statue of the infant Buddha\, with his right hand pointing toward the heavens and his left hand towards the earth. People pour sweet tea over the Buddha statue. The pouring of tea represents the gentle rain that was said to have fallen in Lumbini Garden when Siddhartha was born. This re-enactment of the Buddha’s birth signifies the happiness that filled the world at this event.

DESCRIPTION:The Kids Service begins each Sunday morning from 10:30-10:50 am. Please arrive a few minutes early to get settled. \nFollowing the service\, the children go downstairs with their teacher to participate in the classroom program. \nEveryone is welcome. We hope to see you each week! \nApril’s theme – Sakyamuni Buddha – Hanamatsuri \nHANAMATSURI or “Flower Festival”\, is held to honour the birth of Siddartha Gautama (Sakyamuni) Buddha in Lumbini Garden. A flower shrine known as a hanamido\, is set up at the front of the main altar as a symbol of Lumbini Garden. In the hanamido\, stands a statue of the infant Buddha\, with his right hand pointing toward the heavens and his left hand towards the earth. People pour sweet tea over the Buddha statue. The pouring of tea represents the gentle rain that was said to have fallen in Lumbini Garden when Siddhartha was born. This re-enactment of the Buddha’s birth signifies the happiness that filled the world at this event.
