Buddha’s 84,000 teachings of Sutra and Tantra are precious wisdom insights that can open the door to a profoundly rich and meaningful life and lead us to lasting happiness.

The study programs at Kadampa Meditation Centers throughout the world are designed to enable us to do this. The method for taking these teachings deep into our hearts is centered around three key activities: Listening, contemplating and meditating. In Joyful Path of Good Fortune, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche says:

"To increase our wisdom arisen from listening we need to listen to correct instructions from fully qualified Spiritual Guides, read authentic Dharma books and discuss what we have heard. Wisdom arisen from contemplation arises from reflecting again and again upon what we have heard and understood, and wisdom arisen from meditation arises from meditating on what we have heard and contemplated. We need to keep increasing these three wisdoms continuously until we attain enlightenment."

Our study programs are structured to support the development of these three wisdoms.
