Studying the book Universal Compassion:
The heart of Buddha’s teachings is unconditional love and compassion. In this inspiring explanation of the popular Buddhist poem Training the Mind in Seven Points, Geshe Kelsang reveals powerful and far-reaching methods for us to develop these altruistic states. Ancient meditative techniques that have been tried and tested for centuries are brought alive and made relevant to our everyday experiences. Also included is a practical explanation of how we can transform our day-to-day problems – even the most demanding and difficult conditions – into opportunities for personal and spiritual development. By pointing the way to an unchanging freedom and happiness, this immensely readable book challenges us to grow, and will have a remarkable impact on our life.
The Foundation Program provides an opportunity to deepen our understanding and experience of Buddhism and meditation through a systematic study of six texts. It is designed for those people who wish to study Buddha's teachings in more depth than is available at General programme classes. It takes a more structured approach and classes consist of teachings, discussions, chanted prayers and guided meditations.
