Kadampa Buddhist Study Programs
All Kadampa centers offer three special study programs - the General Program, Foundation Program, and Teacher Training Program.
These programs, designed by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso for the systematic study and practice of Kadampa Buddhism, are especially suited to the modern world:
General Program
