The Three Study Programmes & Retreats
We offer three study programmes at Ashoka Centre:
General Programme classes are open to all and you can ‘drop in’. They are designed to give a clear and practical introduction to Buddhist Meditation. Each class includes guided meditations and offer Buddha’s wisdom advice for reducing our stress and increasing our happiness in everyday life. Click here for more details.
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 committment must be for at least one term. Click here for more details.
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.

Throughout the year we also provide regular Buddhist meditation retreats, from just a few days to several weeks. Click here for more details.
