In-depth study and meditation
Foundation Programme and Teacher Training Programme
Foundation Programme (FP) and Teacher Training Programme (TTP) are for people who wish to deepen their understanding and experience of modern Buddhism through a systematic study of texts by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, and, if they wish, learn to become qualified Kadampa Teachers. For more information click the links below.
FP and TTP classes are in-person but they will continue to be livestreamed and recorded for people who unable to attend in person, depending on particular circumstances. These livestreamed or recorded FP and TTP classes will constitute a new modern Correspondence/Home Study Programme.
Pujas, festivals and special events
In addition to meditation classes, Heruka KMC runs pujas or chanted prayers, offers meditation retreats and, as a member of the New Kadampa Tradition-International Kadampa Buddhist Union, provides access to International Kadampa Festivals.
We all have the two basic wishes: to be free from everyday problems and to find lasting peace and happiness. With Buddhist meditation we have the actual method to realise these two goals. Through contemplating Buddha’s practical insights we will gradually reduce negative, unpeaceful minds - such as anxiety, anger, stress, loneliness and dissatisfaction - and replace them with more peaceful states - including patience, love, compassion and consideration for others. This process of spiritual development will make us happier, more positive and much better able to help those around us.
