Study Programmes
General Programme meditation classes take place every week during term time at many locations throughout Devon and Cornwall.
These classes have been specially designed to give a clear and practical introduction to Buddhist thought and meditation. The classes involve guided meditations and advice from the teacher offering Buddhist wisdom for reducing stress and increasing happiness in everyday life.
The classes are given by qualified meditation teachers who are all studying on our Foundation Programme.
Whatever your previous experience, everyone can benefit from attending the meditation classes and courses held throughout the region.
Foundation Programme is a more structured approach designed to provide a deeper experience of Buddha’s teachings by studying dharma texts in a thorough and systematic manner. Anyone is welcome to join this programme, but the commitment must be for at least one section of the book being studies. At present we are studying Eight Steps to Happiness.
Teacher Training Programme is designed for those wishing to train as qualified Kadampa Buddhist teachers. Through a combination of systematic study, regular retreat and teacher training practice, students gain a deep knowledge and experience of Buddha's teachings which they can then share with others.
