Dhamma School

The Dhamma School (Sunday school) is an organized effort to provide an opportunity for our children in their search for a ‘right-way’ of living. We understand the importance of Buddhist values to our lives. As parents, our sincere wish is for our children to find happiness in their lives and, for them to be free from suffering. To this end, Dhamma school provides a solid foundation to develop wholesome thoughts that will take them on the ‘right-way’. Adults who wish to learn Buddhism are also welcome to participate in these classes.

Dhamma School class sessions are conducted by Venerable Kahanda Amarabuddhi and Ven. Yatimadure gnanawimala. Classes are scheduled to be held on weekends and holidays from 3.00 p.m. to 5.30 p.m. In the spirit of Buddhist tradition, Dhamma School class sessions are offered free of charge to anybody who is committed to learn the Buddhist way of living. Funding for the Dhamma School is provided by contributions from those who find this effort worthwhile. Parents of Dhamma School students have made generous donations at levels they can afford. As a merit of their loving, kindness, any child may attend the class sessions without a charge. A parent serving, as the custodian will be present at all times during the class sessions. All parents are invited to serve as the custodian on days that are convenient to individuals.

Discipline is a necessary learning element that will develop a positive work-culture in our children. When attending classes children are expected to dress appropriately. During the class sessions they will stay barefooted. In the best interest of our children, please make necessary arrangements for them to attend all class sessions
