How to Teach Buddhism to Children

This is an audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No. 9 by Dr. Helmuth Klar, 'How to Teach Buddhism to Children' found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. I, narrated by Christa Michel.

Excerpt:

"...How can Buddhist parents best teach their own children Buddhism? since they will seldom have the opportunity to teach it to other children, let alone the children of non-Buddhist parents. As I do not wish to theorize, I shall speak only from practical experience with my own children, and so of Western children in general. It is moreover particularly the Western child which is exposed to a Christian or materialistic environment, and hence is in need of a carefully considered Buddhist education. In a Buddhist country, steeped in its centuries-old Buddhist tradition, the position of a Buddhist child is (or should be) far easier. In such a favourable environment a good and effective Buddhist educational system may have developed. But even if it had it would be a great mistake for us, as Westerners, to copy it without due consideration.
