Little Tzu Chi Bodhisattvas

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.
