Foundation Programme

Compassion Centre Foundation Programme study book is ”Understanding the Mind” . 

Classes: Fridays 7.15pm  – 9.15pm  and Saturdays 9.00am – 11.00am

Intended for those who have already been studying on the General Programme for some time, the Foundation Programme is a unique study programme designed by Ven. Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.  Foundation Programme (FP) comprises of teachings, meditation and discussions aimed at deepening our understanding and experience of the spiritual path.
In order to provide a stable environment for all involved in this study programme it is a requirement that you are able to attend all of the classes and it is also a commitment to attend at least one of Compassion Centre’s Pujas (chanted prayer sessions) every week.
Understanding the Mind is a comprehensive explanation of the mind based on the experiences of accomplished mediators.
“It is very important to have a correct understanding of the nature and function of the mind because this special knowledge will open the door to liberation for us.”
