Family Day

A fun, relaxed morning for families to explore what truly makes us happy. Together, we’ll enjoy family meditation, story time, activities, and chat about our own ideas of happiness.

All children must be cared for by an adult at all times whether in the temple or outside.

10.30am – 11.30am Session 1: What makes us happy?

We’ll explore what happiness means to each of us, and how it can come from both outside and within. Through gentle meditation and simple activities, we’ll practise feeling peaceful and contented together as a family.

Tea Break

12.00pm – 1.00pm Session 2: What did the Buddha say about happiness?

We’ll hear about the Buddha’s life, discover his advice on finding happiness, and listen to each other’s ideas. We’ll also look at how being kind and training our minds can help us, and those around us, to be happy. Together, we will practice loving kindness meditation.
