Created by an international collaboration of acclaimed artists, the Blue Lion album brings lessons, insights and life-hacks from ancient Eastern wisdom to children everywhere through compelling and engaging modern music.
“In a world rife with growing uncertainty, today’s children need better methods to navigate their complicated lives,” explains Simon Thomas, founder of Dharma Kids Collective. “So, when the new Blue Lion Pre-school in Singapore engaged me to write a collection of songs to complement their innovative contemplative curriculum, I jumped at the opportunity to create a unique fusion of music, education and insight.”
The whole family will love these beautiful melodies, captivating harmonies and inspiring messages.
“Although the Blue Lion preschool is nominally Buddhist, I wanted these songs to bring benefit to children across the world whatever their background,” says Simon. “So, rather than parroting religious dogma, the lyrics evoke situations that we all encounter every day such as change, interconnection and human relationships, equipping the listener with practical tools that can help them as they grow and learn. Spoiler alert…a few of the parents out there might learn something as well!”
We want to make the Blue Lion songs to children everywhere, that’s why we made it available for “name your own price.” With your generosity, we can keep producing beautiful music and stories for our next generation, and those who cannot afford to pay much are welcome to contribute what they can and still enjoy the music.

15 wonderful quality Buddhist songs. This is a dream come true for me and my family. Sadhu, may all noble aspirations come true. Sharing the wisdom of the Triple Gems in Buddhists young and old through all mediums. Love the rich musicality in these simple, children-friendly melodies. We really enjoy the music arrangement in the songs. Every singer offered their best singing and awesome job to the sound tech team.
Thank you. Sadhu, Sadhu, Sadhu.

Hi Simon, I loved all of those songs in the Blue Lion album, but my favourite songs were “Lining Up”, “Refuge Prayer” and “We are all Community”. I loved the way every song was not to short and not too long and they were so different. I love each one in there own unique ways. Love your songs so much. Thanks. Love Olivia Saxton – 8 years old. P.S. Aunty Kim helped me.
