Children's poor academic performance results primarily from a lack of concentration and family overwhelm, which can be healed through Buddhist practices such as meditation and mantra recitation, in order to foster clarity and social benefit.
A wise method is to encourage children to engage in meditation, do prostrations, repeat the mantra and learn about the Buddha and his teachings.
The text is an episode of the podcast 'Compassionate Buddha', in which the speaker Denia Rositzki (as Gaktok) presents a daily excerpt from the teachings of Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche. The central theme is supporting children in their learning process. It is argued that poor grades do not stem from a lack of intelligence, but from a lack of concentration and unfavorable family circumstances such as excessive parental attachment. As a solution, Buddhist practices such as meditation, prostrations, and mantra recitation are recommended to calm the mind and create clarity. This inner stability is meant to enable children to fulfill their tasks well and to develop into good sons and daughters. The text concludes with the promise that children raised in this way will benefit society and the country.

Welcome, I am very happy that you are here on the podcast Compassionate Buddha, your podcast for love and world crisis. I am Danielle Rzitzki with the lady named Gaktok. I am the Abbot of the Universe Meditation Center Hamburg-Junger-Dame Asar of the Universe Sanger of World Social Buddhism. In this episode, you can get a daily reminder from Supreme Materialik, the Gwanganapopsenem, to unfill the children. Daily Fragments of the Lotus Flower by Gwanganapopsenem 8.635, January 30, 2016, Lotus Buddhist Monastery. A student who studies well or the one who does not, all depends on the degree of concentration each of them has. Focused concentration always brings a good grade, whereas difficulties in paying attention result in poor scores. Instead of calculating whether students are smart or not smart, it is better to check if their circumstances are good or so bad that they are detrimental and cause confusion. Many difficulties arise with family or health problems or if parents are overly attached to their offspring or do not give them enough space. It is very important to assess such situations. But no matter how young the children are, they all have their own individual abilities and the mind of Buddha. That is why all children wish to be clear and do their given duties well, like study correctly and score high. The reason why children have poor grades is because parents have not cared to develop concentration in their young ones or paid enough attention to them. A wise method is to encourage children to engage in meditation, do prostrations, repeat the mantra and learn about the Buddha and his teachings. The mantra increases concentration and prostrations, bring energy and balance to the body, which in turn makes it healthy. Meditation helps to settle whatever is floating in the undulating mind. Even a very heavy wave calms down and makes the ocean quiet. Everything becomes clear when the moon shines, thus bringing stability and clarity to the mind of children. Thus with a lucid mind, they can study well according to what their teachers say. It has always been observed that such upbringing helps children to be beautiful and well integrated and study diligently. When they come home, they are good and sincere sons and daughters to their parents, giving them much happiness. By becoming the most wonderful sons and daughters of Buddha, they benefit society and country and all others. Thank you very much, di kwang napopsanim. Thank you very much for listening and thank you very much, di kwang napopsanim. I wish you a nice, happy and joyous week. Yours and the Dharma, Gaktok.
