The Foundation Program

A Unique Study Program
The Foundation Program (FP) is soon going to begin studying Universal Compassion by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche. This book offers us practical instructions to transform even the most difficult daily life experiences into opportunities for spiritual growth through developing and enhancing minds of universal love and compassion.
The purpose of the Foundation Program is to provide a systematic presentation of particular subjects of Mahayana Buddhism to enable people to deepen their knowledge and experience of Buddhism.
By studying on this program, we will gain great confidence in meditation – from basic techniques for overcoming our everyday problems to practices leading to unsurpassed happiness and permanent inner peace. Warm friendships develop as students inspire each other, sharing insights and experiences of the spiritual path. In this way, we are able to gain a deeper understanding of the meaning of Buddha’s teachings, maintain a daily meditation practice that is both focused and powerful, and make genuine spiritual progress.
FP meets on Wednesdays from 6:30-8:30pm. In order to join, we ask that you attend two months of our Sunday and/or Thursday classes. Then you can audit two FP classes for free, and apply to join the program thereafter. For more information, please contact: ad.kuluta@gmail.com
