Join An In-depth
Weekly Buddhist Study Program
Foundation Program

Sundays, 3- 5pm & Tuesdays, 7- 9pm

The Foundation Program (FP) is for those who wish to deepen their understanding and experience of Buddhism through systematic study and practice. FP students make a commitment to attend classes and one group meditation per week. Beginning this fall, we will be studying Universal Compassion. Based on a famous Buddhist poem, Training the Mind in Seven Points, this book shows how true mental freedom and lasting happiness can be achieved by transforming our mind. Each class includes meditation, teaching and discussion.
Everyone is welcome!

The Odiyana Buddhist Center Bookstore & Café is the perfect place to start and finish your visit to the Center. Sit back and relax with your favorite hot drink and a book. You’ll find friendly people on hand to answer any questions you might have on meditation, Buddhism, practice and study.

Our Bookstore carries Dharma texts written by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, and stocks beautiful Buddha statues, artwork, ritual items, prayer booklets and CDs to support and enhance meditation practice and study.Accessories from hand-made book covers to incense and journals complement Buddhist practice and make excellent gifts.

"We need to reflect again and again on the special opportunity we now have. If we develop a deep appreciation for the preciousness of this life we will definitely make a determination to use it wisely. Then we will feel as if our life has become truly meaningful."
- Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
