If we teach our kids dharma when they are young, it means we love them. If we don’t , when they grow up they will be uncontrollable because the world and media is not getting better. And it influences them terribly…

If they have dharma, then we put something inside of them that is so good and forever. We can only do that if we are practicing.. If we are practicing, they follow our example.. If we don’t practice and just tell them dharma, dharma and dharma, they will find us hypocrites and not like the dharma which is pure and beyond criticism.

How much we really love our kids is how much we will really practice the dharma… Just like parents who only give food /shelter/education think this is enough, but in today’s world, it is not. How much we love them is how much we will change ourselves and practice dharma and instill it in them. This is the measure of true love and not empty love… This is good for lay people to remember…
