Geshe Kelsang Gyatso has designed three special study and meditation programs to help us gain a complete understanding of Buddha's teachings and confidence in our abilities to practice them.

General Program
The General Program (GP) provides us with teachings on Buddhist view, meditation and practice that are suitable for beginners. It also includes advanced teachings from both Sutra and Tantra. All classes offered at or through the Center are part of GP, with the exception of Foundation Program and Teacher Training Program.

Foundation Program
with Amy Schwartz
Sundays, 1 - 3 pm and 4 - 6 pm
Foundation Program (FP) provides us with an opportunity to deepen our understanding and experience of Buddhism through the systematic study of six essential texts written by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. FP students are currently studying Joyful Path of Good Fortune.

Teacher Training Program
with Gen Kelsang Gomlam
Wednesdays and Fridays, 7 - 9 pm
Teacher training Program (TTP) is designed for those who wish to train as qualified teachers of Kadampa Buddhism. In addition to completing the study of twelve texts of Sutra and Tantra written by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, students are required to participate in a number of meditation retreats each year. Please note: an interview with the Teacher is required before joining Teacher Training Program. In TTP we are currently studying Understanding the Mind.
