The path of sharing the Buddha’s teachings with the next generation is a journey of both responsibility and joy. Recently, Authority Magazine invited Red Wing, the author of "First You," to share some reflections on the heart behind her writing.
She speaks not of personal achievement, but of a simple wish: to provide children with the tools they need to grow into kind, thoughtful, and self-reflective individuals. These reflections remind us that a story’s true value lies in the seeds of virtue it plants in a young heart.
When children see us practicing First You, they learn how to care for us, too. Every act of kindness we show is a seed planted in our children’s hearts—one that will grow into a lifetime of kindness, compassion, and gratitude.

Though these physical journeys have concluded, the practice of mindfulness remains. These young artists remind us that peace isn't just an event—it is a continuous path we choose to walk every day, one step at a time, wherever we are in the world.
🕊️🌍With the completion of the Walk for Peace in Sri Lanka, we are reminded that peace is a journey that transcends borders. Whether walking across the US or through the landscapes of Sri Lanka, the Venerable Monks carry a light that continues to inspire.
Our 2nd and 3rd-grade students at @igdvscttb captured the spirit of this mission. From the arrival in Washington, D.C. to the company of Aloka the Peace Dog, these drawings show that our students are learning to walk their own path of mindfulness.
A child’s perspective can sometimes inspire us in the simplest yet profound way.
When we look past our own busy minds as adults, we realize that these young voices aren't just "learning" virtues—they are reminding us how to return to them.

You model Prajñā by explaining to your child the "why" behind their actions and how those choices create ripples of peace for themselves and others. By teaching them to look beyond the surface, you help them turn everyday good deeds into a compassionate way of life.
Wisdom transforms the first five practices into true "perfections." Without Wisdom, our acts of kindness are simply good habits; with Wisdom, they become intentional choices rooted in the deep awareness that everything is interconnected.
We teach our children to be okay with what we have.
By modeling this wisdom, we help kids develop resilience and emotional balance, showing them that peace and happiness come from within, not from external things.
