The Foundation Program (FP) is an opportunity to engage in systematic study and meditation on the essential subjects of Kadampa Buddhism, based on six books by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche. Classes consist of teachings, meditation, and discussion with an emphasis on gaining practical experience of Buddha’s teachings that you can apply to daily life.

FP is a tried and tested way to gain deeper understanding of Buddha’s teachings, maintain a focused and powerful daily meditation practice and make genuine spiritual progress. If you’ve been coming to GP classes regularly and want to go a deeper with your practice, the systematic study of essential Buddhist texts on FP can be a perfect next step.

This Foundation Programme at Manjushri KMC takes place on a Monday evening. The study of the next book on the programme start date is still to be confirmed in April 2026.
