Buddhist Meditation Classes & Retreats
All classes at Kadampa Meditation Center Florida are included within three special programs; General Program, Foundation Program and Teacher Training Program. You can sign up for any of these programs on a monthly basis. Please visit Monthly Payment Plans for more information.
The General Program
The General Program consists of drop-in meditation classes, day courses, and meditation retreats. The methods taught within these classes are appropriate for all individuals, whatever your level of interest.
These programs introduce basic Buddhist view, meditation and action, along with various other teachings and practices to help practitioners deepen their knowledge and experience of Buddhism. These classes are suitable for all levels, from complete beginners to advanced practitioners.
By following Buddha's special advice we can find peace of mind, overcome our pain and fear and become of greater benefit to others.
