The General Program introduces basic Buddhist view, meditation and practice of the Mahayana Buddhist tradition of Atisha and Je Tsongkhapa to help practitioners deepen their knowledge and experience of Buddhism.

All the teachings are based on commentaries by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
The General Program is taught at every Kadampa Buddhist Center and is an ideal starting point for those interested to find out more about Buddhism and meditation. The program consists of drop-in classes (evening and lunchtimes), supplemented by optional day courses, weekend courses, and meditation retreats.

All classes are open to everyone.
