Service Description

If you are not currently a member at KMC Philadelphia but and have tried the FREE February 13th Foundation Program class but you still aren't sure...you can register for additional paid trial dates for prospective new Foundation Program members. $15 per class for February 20th and/or February 27th. Learn about what FP has to offer as well as looking into the new book being studied: The New Heart of Wisdom, an explanation of the Heart Sutra. Foundation Program is not a drop-in class. Students enrolling in FP are required to make some basic class commitments. These commitments will be explained during the intro class. The Foundation Program (FP) provides students with an opportunity to advance their understanding and practice of Buddha’s teachings through systematic study and meditation on the essential teachings of Mahayana Buddhism. The New Heart of Wisdom, by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, offers truly liberating insights and advice for the contemporary practitioner. It reveals the profound meaning of the very heart of Buddha’s teachings - the Perfection of Wisdom Sutras. The author shows how all our problems and suffering come from our ignorance of the ultimate nature of things, and how we can abandon this ignorance and come to enjoy pure, lasting happiness by developing a special wisdom associated with compassion for all living beings.
