Three New Kadampa Tradition Buddhist Study Programs

The very core of the New Kadampa Tradition is the three spiritual programs for the systematic study and practice of Kadampa Buddhism, which are especially suited to the modern world. All NKT Centers and groups (currently more than 1,000 worldwide) offer one or more of these Programs.

General Program

The General Program provides a basic introduction to Buddhist view, meditation and practice that is suitable for beginners. It also includes advanced teachings and practices of both Sutra and Tantra. General Program classes are designed to give a broad introduction to Buddhist meditation, ideas and practice. They include weekly meditation classes, day workshops, prayers for world peace, and regular retreats.

Foundation Program

The Foundation Program is a unique structured study program that enables us to gain deeper understanding and experience of Buddhist teachings and to develop a regular meditation practice. It is ideal for those who have an introductory understanding of Buddhism and who wish to learn more.

Through regular teachings, meditation, systematic study and group discussion, the Foundation Program offers deep support for your spiritual life. In essence, it is the same training followed by spiritual practitioners in an unbroken lineage dating back to Buddha Shakyamuni. Its special quality is that we can gain authentic experience without abandoning our modern lifestyle. By studying on this program we will gain great confidence in meditation – from basic techniques for overcoming our everyday problems, to practices leading to unsurpassed happiness and permanent inner peace.
