A Unique Study Program
The Foundation Program (FP) is designed for students who have gained a basic understanding of Kadampa Buddhist practice and are interested in pursuing a formalized and committed study program. The Foundation Program gives you the opportunity to engage in a structured study and meditation program on the essential teachings of Mahayana Buddhism.
​
The Class Structure
The class begins with chanted prayers and guided meditation. The teacher then reads from the book while giving commentary to the text. Students then divide into pairs to discuss the material. The teacher and students conclude by deciding what to meditate on in the next class and how to practice during the coming week.
The Teacher
Gen Kelsang Lingpur is the principal teacher at KMC Arizona, a senior disciple of Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, who has been practicing for over 28 years. Her exuberant energy and delight in teaching are an inspiring example for people on the spiritual path.
The Cost
The cost is $75 a month. This also includes free admission to General Program Classes, retreats and workshops.
