Foundation Program
Now Studying:
Eight Steps to Happiness
The Buddhist Way of Loving Kindness
With Buddhist Teacher, Kathy Ryan
Foundation Program (FP) is a unique, structured study program that enables students to gain deeper understanding and experience of Buddhist teachings and to develop a regular meditation practice. It is ideal for those who have a general understanding of Buddhism but who wish to learn more and to make a deeper commitment to their practice. Through regular teachings and meditation, systematic study and group discussion, Foundation Program offers support and structure to our spiritual life. In essence, it is the same training followed by practitioners in an unbroken lineage dating back to Buddha Shakyamuni. The special quality of this program is that it affords
us an opportunity to gain authentic experience of Dharma without abandoning our modern lifestyle.
We are currently studying, Eight Steps to Happiness. This inspiring book reveals essential methods for developing universal love and compassion, the source of true happiness for both self and others. In this book, Geshe Kelsang Gyatso shares the immeasurably rich insight of this ancient wisdom with all those seeking lasting happiness and greater meaning in their modern lives
Foundation Program meets once per week on Sundays from 3:30-6:30pm.
