  • About This Event

    Our Foundation Program gives people the opportunity to engage in a more in-depth and structured approach to the practices of meditation and Buddhism. Through following traditional methods of study we can gain a deeper understanding of the meaning of Buddha’s teachings, develop a powerful meditation practice, and bring about a positive transformation in our mind. The programmes can be joined at any point and not necessarily at the beginning of a new course. The Foundation Programme is for those people who wish to build a solid foundation and experience of Buddhist teachings – including karma, life after death, impermanence, loving kindness, compassion and wisdom.

    We are currently studying the book Universal Compassion by Geshe Kelsang Gyato. This book gives a practical and uplifting step by step explanation on how we can transform our mind from a negative state into a positive state through training our mind in the meditations on love, compassion, and wisdom.

    Universal Compassion also explains how we can transform our day-to-day lives –including even the most demanding and difficult situations – into opportunities for personal and spiritual development.

    The Foundation Program provides excellent conditions to deepen our experience along our spiritual path through study, guided meditation, discussion and practical advice.
