Bring your little ones on Saturday, May 17th at Boundless Mind Temple in Brooklyn for a special childcare offering of stories, crafts, and celebration!

As part of our Sangha Day/Buddha’s Birthday festivities, we’re offering special childcare activities from 9:15 to 11:00 AM during morning zazen for the adults. This will include a reading of a kamishibai (paper theater) story about the kindness shared between an old man and the beloved Jizo Bodhisattvas. Kids will also enjoy hands-on craft time—including making hats for the Jizos!

After the activities, the children will join the rest of the sangha for an outdoor picnic and to celebrate the Buddha’s Birthday. More on the wider event here.
