What is Buddhism?: Buddhism for Children Level 3 - Softcover

We should know that although we want to be happy all the time we do not know how to do this, and we are always destroying our own happiness by developing anger, negative views and negative intentions.

We are always trying to escape from problems, even in our dreams, but we do not know how to free ourself from suffering and problems. Because we do not understand the real nature of things, we are always creating our own suffering and problems by developing and maintaining anger, uncontrolled desire, jealousy and ignorance .

We need to practice Buddha’s teachings because there is no other real method to solve our problems of anger, uncontrolled desire, jealousy and ignorance. I am encouraging everyone, including children, to learn some important practical teachings of Buddha so that people can experience happiness all the time and can solve their daily human problems.

For this purpose I have prepared Buddhism for Children levels 1 – 4. The teachings of Buddha presented in these booklets are designed for children, but anyone who studies and practices these teachings will find a meaningful life.
