Foundation Programme

The Foundation Programe, or FP, is a structured study programme that helps the student to deepen their knowledge and experience of meditation practice and Buddha’s teachings. FP is suitable for those with some experience of our General Programme classes. It is taught by the Resident Teacher at the Vajrapani Buddhist Centre, Kelsang Mila.

We have a New Class starting on Monday evenings 6.15pm - 8.15pm for those people who have busy lives.

FP classes include:
*Prayers for Meditation
*Meditation
*Study with a Teacher
*Paired and Group Discussion

The subject of study is one of six books written by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
The class starts with studying the book '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.

The teacher reads from the book and gives a commentary which the students then discuss, contemplate and practice in their daily life.

Through the support of the Sangha or spiritual friends, we improve our  understanding of Buddha’s helpful advice, and by putting this advice into practcie we expereince immeasurable benefits.
