Meaningful to Behold

Our Foundation Program is available those with some experience of the Dharma and who are now interested in a more in-depth study of Buddhist teachings and life style. We meet on Monday evenings at 7:30pm and Saturday mornings at 10:00am to study five subjects based on Buddha's Sutra teachings and the corresponding commentaries by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso in six texts. New students are encouraged to enroll at this time.

We are currently studying Meaningful to Behold. This inspiring book reveals the complete Buddhist path: how to cultivate love and compassion, how to benefit others, and how to practice the methods that lead to full enlightenment.

Many people have the compassionate wish to benefit others, but few understand how to effectively accomplish this in daily life. Bodhisattvas are friends of the world, who have such strong compassion they are able to transform all their daily activities into a means to benefit others.

The path of the Bodhisattva was exquisitely explained in the universally loved poem Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life by the 8th century master Shantideva. With this commentary by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, the full effectiveness and profundity of this wonderful poem are revealed in full and made applicable for our time.

Students have a chance to share their experiences in paired group discussion and apply authentic lineage instruction to their daily life. Eventually we reach the point where we can transform any situation, however unpleasant, into a positive experience and an opportunity to make progress in our spiritual development.
