The Dharma Ciranda was originally created in response to a request from Rinpoche for the children of the sangha to be educated in the principles of the Dharma.
Rinpoche strongly believed that the values of love and compassion for all beings could be taught to even the youngest children through stories.
Since it was established in 2002, this method of demonstrating virtuous qualities through stories and group activities has been the main focus of Dharma Ciranda.
Children of all ages are welcome and must be accompanied by a responsible adult for the duration of their stay at the Temple.
