Khyentse Foundation is exploring ways to support Buddhist parents and teachers to create the conditions for children to turn their minds to the dharma.
KF encourages teachers and children’s programs to apply for Ashoka Grants. We have also established the KF Children’s Book Prize for authors. And we support the Hemera Foundation grants for educators to deepen their meditation practice.

“Bodhi Kids completely shares the aspirations of Khyentse Foundation: to ‘make freely available the primary teachings of all Buddhist lineages’ and ‘to extend the Buddha’s wisdom and compassion as widely as possible.’ We joyfully offer this platform in service to the Buddhadharma and for the benefit of sentient beings.
