The symbol of the Tzu Chi Children's Enrichment
Class shows two cute little Tzu Chi bodhi-sattvas, a boy and a
girl, holding the Tzu Chi dharma-ship. This symbolizes that with
their inno-cent hearts, the little Tzu Chi bodhisattvas receive
the Tzu Chi spirit.
In the family of Tzu Chi, growing children
are influenced by their parents. In their childhood, they put
down deep roots of goodness. The little bodhisattvas always help
with chores around the house. They may also save their pocket
money in their piggy banks, and when the banks are "full
of love," they donate them to Tzu Chi.
Once a month, the little bodhisattvas attend
Tzu Chi children's enrichment classes provided at every Tzu Chi
office. During summer and winter vacations, they go to Hualien
for Buddhist camps or "Happy Health" camps.
