Class Description

Buddhism teaches that to find lasting happiness and meaning in our lives we need to follow a spiritual path. Kadampa Buddhism offers modern day practitioners methods to transform their daily life into the spiritual path. Founded by renowned meditation master and author Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, it offers the complete Buddhist path to lasting peace and happiness.

The General Program (GP) provides a basic introduction to Buddhist teachings and meditation that is suitable for beginners. Through these classes we can learn how to meditate, use Buddha's advice in our daily lives to solve our problems, and find the peace and happiness we seek.
