Dharma club is held at Atisha Centre on Community days from 10.00 am – 11.00 for all children.


Our aims are to develop a basic understanding of the Buddha’s teachings, Buddhist concepts and Buddhist practices. We encourage a sense of community and belonging within the centre, the application of Buddhist principles in every day life and friendship and kindness.

Our sessions comprise of preparing an altar, motivation for the session, prostrations, mantra recitations using a mala, yoga, meditation, a motivational story, a craft type activity and a dedication.

We use a variety  of resources including, Jataka Tales Series – Dharma publishing; Buddhist Animal Wisdom Stories – M McGinnis; Meditation for Children – FPMT Ed Dept; Buddhism Stages 1 & 2 – Buddhist Education Foundation and Prince Siddhartha – the story of Buddha.
