4.0 out of 5 stars
Valuable spiritual resource for Buddhist families.,
By Fearless Mom (Western USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dharma Family Treasures : Sharing Buddhism With Children (Paperback)
This book includes a wide range of essays by lay people and ordained Zen Buddhist practitioners, poets, writers and children. It guides parents on how to nurture their own and their children's spirituality especially on mindfulness in everyday life. It's a great book while the next edition could include less stories from parents that may be very similar.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Dharma Family Treasures : Sharing Buddhism With Children (Paperback)
I'm so pleased with this book. It's a great resource for stories and ideas for sharing Buddhism with children. My favorite was the detailed Lovingkindness meditation to share at bedtime, a lovely practice among many in the book.
