Perfect classes for those seeking to integrate Buddhist ideas into modern day living. The General Program introduces basic Buddhist view, meditation and action to help develop a spiritual intention to guide day to day life. Through learning Buddha's teachings we can deepen our inner peace and cherish others with ease.
Based on commentaries by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, GP classes and day courses consist of:
