Dear Young Friend,

The teenagers' meditation course is strictly for children of ages 12 to 15 and 13 to 17 years depending on the program. Teenagers interested in a course must read the code of conduct and timetable below very carefully and complete the required medical emergency form and application form. Please ask your parents to complete the permission form and return it with your application. After we receive your completed application and permission forms, accepted students will receive a letter of welcome to attend the course.

During a teenagers' course, the teenagers learn how to practice Anapana meditation along with the five precepts. These courses have been specifically designed for teenagers. They practice Anapana meditation with guided instructions in meditation hall for periods of up to 30 minutes. These sessions are interspersed with story and discussion sessions, break periods and games and art activities throughout the day.
