General Program

Everyone, regardless of their level of experience or background, can benefit from the classes and courses offered on the General Program (GP). It is a highly accessible program designed to address everyday problems with simple and practical advice that makes sense according to our daily experience.

All GP classes are drop-in. Come as often as you like, and all classes are self-contained even if they are part of a series.

These classes and courses provide a basic introduction to Buddhist teachings and meditations. Through these we can learn how to use Buddha's advice as a solution to our daily problems. In this way we come to experience a sense of peace and happiness in our lives.

Everyone is welcome. You do not need to be a Buddhist to attend. These classes are suitable for beginners and advanced meditators alike.
