                                                  The Foundation Programme provides an opportunity to deepen our understanding and experience of Buddhism and meditation through systematic study. It is designed for those people who wish to study Buddhism and meditation in more depth than is available at General Programme (drop-in) classes. There is a more structured approach to the classes which consist of chanted meditation, guided meditation, teachings, and discussions.

                                                  Taught by Resident Teacher, Hung Tran
                                                  Sundays 6.30-8.30 & Wednesdays 6.30-8.30pm
                                                  We are currently studying the book "Eight Steps to Happiness". 

                                                  Through engaging in the study & meditation of this precious set of instructions we shall learn :
                                                  • How to develop love based on genuine cherishing of others
                                                  • Practical instructions on transforming life’s difficulties
                                                  • Essential advice for developing compassion and wisdom

                                                  Learning is based at Drolma Centre. It is very beneficial to attend these classes and meet with fellow students and share our experience as well as develop the experiences of a community of students. However we will consider a combination of class attendance and  distance learning for part of the programme if you live more than 10 miles away from the centre. If you have particular requirements please contact us to discuss how we can help you further your study of meditation & Buddhism.

                                                  You can join Foundation Programme at any time, the current fee is £35 per month.  This fee also entitles students to free entry to all classes and day courses (not social events) at Drolma centre.
