Foundation
Programme
in-depth study
Foundation Programme provides a unique opportunity to deepen our understanding and experience of the spiritual path through studying and meditating systematically with a group of like-minded people.
Each class consists of teaching, prayer, guided meditation and discussion.
Monday Evenings
with the Resident Teacher of Maitreya Kadampa Buddhist Centre, Gen Kelsang Rak-ma
We are currently studying the first part of How to Understand the Mind, written by the contemporary meditation master Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.
This book offers deep insight into the mind, and shows how an understanding of its nature and functions can be used practically in everyday experience to improve our lives.
You are warmly welcome to join this programme – please contact us to register your interest.
Please note that the Foundation Programme is not a drop-in class, prior enrolment is required.
The current fee is £40 per month (concession rates available) which includes entry to all classes and courses at Maitreya Centre and branch classes.
