Buddhist wisdom for children

An open resource hub and community platform bringing Buddhist wisdom into everyday childhood.

Come and see for yourself.

Passiko brings the Buddha’s wisdom into childhood education, galvanizing a global movement in how children are educated. We offer open, adaptable resources and a community of schools, programs and families, supporting children to grow up understanding that they are fundamentally good and have innate potential to thrive.

What Does ‘Passiko’ Mean?

Passiko comes from ehipassiko, an ancient Pali term meaning “come and see for yourself”. Rather than presenting his teachings as dogma to be believed without question, the Buddha offered his insights for each person to explore and test for themselves.

Similarly, we invite anyone interested in weaving Buddhist wisdom through how they raise, guide or teach children, and those still deciding if it’s for them: come and see.
