A Deeper Understanding. A More Meaningful Practice.
Attending meditation classes can bring greater peace and clarity into our daily life. But if we wish to make deeper progress in our spiritual practice, we need the opportunity to study Buddha’s teachings in a more systematic way.
The Foundation Program was designed by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche to help us deepen both our understanding and our personal experience of Buddha’s teachings.
Through regular study, contemplation and meditation, we gradually become more familiar with positive states of mind and learn how to integrate Buddhist wisdom into our everyday life.
Rather than simply collecting knowledge, we learn how to put Buddha’s teachings into practice and bring about genuine inner change.
From Understanding to Experience
Foundation Program brings together three essential aspects of Buddhist practice.
Listen
Receive clear explanations of Buddha’s teachings and develop a deeper understanding of their meaning.
Contemplate
Reflect on the teachings, discuss them with others and develop our own understanding and conviction.
Meditate
Become familiar with the meaning of the teachings, gradually transforming our understanding into personal experience.
A systematic path to inner change
By bringing listening, contemplation and meditation together in a regular programme of study and practice, we develop the understanding, familiarity and confidence needed to make steady progress on the spiritual path.
Our First Book
The New Eight Steps to Happiness
The Buddhist Way of Loving Kindness
By Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche
Based on the profound Buddhist teachings known as the Eight Verses of Training the Mind, The New Eight Steps to Happiness offers practical methods for transforming our mind and developing a genuinely happy and meaningful life.
Through studying this book, we’ll explore how to develop authentic love and compassion, improve our relationships, overcome self-cherishing and transform everyday difficulties into opportunities for spiritual growth.
The teachings are both profound and practical, making this a wonderful book for beginning a deeper exploration of Buddha’s wisdom.
