Foundation Program - Classes at Davenport Center, Saturday May 5th, 12th & 26th
For those who wish to deepen their knowledge and experience of Buddhism, Lamrim Center Foundation Program Class is studying the book Eight Steps to Happiness by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
“It sometimes feels as if Dharma is there and we are here. We find it difficult to integrate Dharma into our everyday lives and so we cannot use it to solve our problems. If we just pick at Dharma randomly we will never gain a deep and stable experience, and our wisdom will never develop to its full potential”. –Venerable Geshe Keslang Gyasto
