Program Structure
Our programs are organized into three streams
Dharma Teaching Sessions
These sessions intend to take the aspirants deep into Dharma through transmissions of teachings through an unbroken lineage of teachers. These sessions will also introduce aspirants to practical ways of progressing in the path. Monastic teachers will be conducting these programs.
Practice Sessions
Please watch out for updates on these later.
Talks and Study Group Sessions
Buddhism is not a dogmatic religion. Study and Critical analysis is an effective way for one to gain conviction and certainty. These sessions are intended to fill in that need by providing a casual platform for one to listen to wide variety of topics related to Dharma and to have discussions on the same.
