Importance ..
As Buddhists, we trust the
way to be free from
suffering is to tread on the
eight – fold path toward
Nibbana. To this end, the
Dhamma School provides a
solid foundation for
children to develop a middle
path for right living
rational thoughts, positive
attitudes and practical view
points to see the world the
way it is. Dhamma class
sessions are offered free of
charge.

Message ...
Those
who call themselves
Buddhists just because they
have been born into a
Buddhist family or because
they practice some rituals
are mistaken. One does not
become a Buddhist by birth,
by practice, or even by
initiation. One becomes a
Buddhist by what one is.
What one repeats habitually,
one becomes. One repeats,
however, only what one wants
to be. One is what one wants
to be. What one wants to be
depends on one's sense of
values, which in turn
depends on one's philosophy
of life.
An individual's character is
a functional whole that is
organized to reach a set
goal. Every habit of
thought, speech, and action
is an integral part of this
functional whole, which is
necessary to reach this
goal.
