​An Inquiry into Youthful Struggles Today

At a young age, due to the lack of experience, we might get ourselves exhausted and overwhelmed in the whirlpool of self-worth. 

At a young age, we don't completely understand what love is, and may experience betrayal or even become a deceiver in a relationship.

At a young age, we care about relationships with our peers, and thus we want to make friends and care what people think of our appearance.

At a young age, we might think that death is still very far away from us, and it is not until impermanence strikes that we are forced to face it.

All these struggles are no strangers to the young monastic members of Dharma Drum Mountain (DDM). Have you ever had a similar experience?

Here, you will see the DDM monastic members sharing the stories of the Buddha and reflecting on their own youth. Join us in exploring the Dharma and discovering the answers to these life questions.
