Wednesday Morning Foundation Programme
Foundation Programme is an opportunity for students to deepen their understanding of Buddhism by making an ongoing commitment to join a weekly study group. These study classes provide a systematic presentation of Kadampa Buddhism to a group of students who also engage in paired and group discussion as part of the programme.
Foundation Study Programme requires a commitment to attend a whole section of a book (with class breaks during most school term breaks).
