IN-DEPTH STUDY TO INCREASE OUR UNDERSTANDING AND EXPERIENCE OF DHARMA
The Foundation Program (FP) gives you an opportunity to deepen your understanding and experience of Buddha's teachings through the systematic study of six texts
by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.
Foundation Program
The six texts we study are:
​
~ The New Heart of Wisdom
~ How to Understand the Mind
~ Joyful Path of Good Fortune
~ Universal Compassion
~ The New Eight Steps to Happiness
~ Meaningful to Behold
​
In the Foundation Program, we study each of these books in great depth. In each class, we are guided in a close reading and benefit from the encouragement and support of our spiritual community.
​
Each FP class includes:
• Guided meditations and prayers
• Commentary to the text by the teacher
• Paired and group discussion
• Question & answer opportunities
​
Currently, we are studying the book The New Heart Of Wisdom. This text reveals the profound meaning of the very heart of Buddha’s teachings - the Perfection of Wisdom Sutras. The book shows how all our problems and suffering come from our ignorance of the ultimate nature of things and how we can abandon this ignorance and enjoy pure, lasting happiness by developing a special wisdom associated with compassion for all living beings.
This class is a monthly commitment and pre-registration is required.
