Celebrate spring with Seeds of Awakening, a Dharma Art Benefit supporting Buddhist-based childhood education at Middle Way School.

Participate in this meaningful event by purchasing artwork that inspires and uplifts. Every purchase and all donations support the Middle Way School Annual Fund, helping us to raise $66,000 by the end of this school year on June 13, 2025, to reach our 2024/25 goal of $108,000.

Your support directly enables us to continue offering and evolving our unique, Buddhist-based approach to childhood education—providing timeless refuge for children navigating the wonders and challenges of our complex modern world.

The Seeds of Awakening Dharma Art Benefit is LIVE NOW through April 26, 2025.

We are grateful for your participation!

Please note:

• Guided by a number of teachers and advisors, Middle Way School respects the many Buddhist traditions and varied paths that have helped individuals connect with the dharma and inherent wakefulness for 2,500 years. While we celebrate a diversity of perspectives, individual statements made by Artists do not necessarily reflect the perspective of the school.

• In accordance with tradition, images of deities are treated with a certain respect. Please do not place them on the ground, stack objects on top of them, or step over them. If relinquishing an art piece, the traditional choice is to alight it, rather than dispose of it.

• We ask that you please not reproduce any of the images seen here without express permission from the Artist, even after purchase. All copyrights are retained by the Artist.

• A giclée print is a high-quality, archival fine art print on acid-free paper. With proper care, it can last a lifetime. Like an original painting, it should be stored out of direct sunlight and protected from moisture.
