Buddhist Dharma Day

Abstract

One of the important things that young children have to learn is that we all need to respect our environment and the living creatures within it. Many religions have teachings that talk about stewardship of the world and Asian religions (Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism) believe that all creation is involved in a cycle of birth and rebirth, so that when people die they may be born either as an animal or even a god. For some, though not for all, this belief may lead to the practice of vegetarianism.
