The Foundation Program (FP) is an opportunity for people to engage in systematic study and meditation on the essential subjects of Kadampa Buddhism based on six books by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche. The emphasis in the classes is on gaining practical experience of Buddha’s teachings that you can apply to your daily life. If you have been coming to classes regularly, FP may be a perfect next step for you to take your practice to a deeper level.

Starting in September 2024, the program will delve into Part Two of ‘The New Heart of Wisdom’ by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche. This section offers practical guidance on how to bring love, compassion, and a deeper understanding into your everyday life.

By studying this text, you’ll discover insights that go beyond theory - tools you can use to lead a happier, more meaningful life. Whether you're dealing with stress, relationship challenges, or seeking a greater sense of purpose, the wisdom of Kadam Lamrim offers solutions that bring peace and fulfillment. Atisha’s ‘Lamp for the Path’ and the teachings of ‘Kadam Lamrim’ are more than just spiritual practices—they’re a roadmap for living well. You’ll learn how to apply these teachings to real-life situations, helping you to navigate life’s ups and downs with confidence and clarity.

Each class includes prayers, guided meditation and teaching. There are also dedicated discussion classes and live-stream correspondence students will have the opportunity to submit their questions to the discussion. Joining FP involves studying the book and trying to attend all classes, one of which is an end-of-term exam.  

The monthly fee of $110 gives you access to all classes and courses held in Darwin as well as online and/or in person from KMC Australia (Melbourne). Classes are taught by Centre Teacher of Kadampa Meditation Centre (KMC) Australia and Kadampa Meditation Centre (KMC) Melbourne, Kelsang Luma. Whether you join us in person or via correspondence, this program is an opportunity to transform your life with timeless wisdom.

The class will be live streamed every Sunday afternoon from 12.30-4.30pm Darwin time and will be available to view for one week. There is also the option to view the class in a group setting on Wednesdays at 6.30pm.
