KMC Florida offers structured study programs for people interested in a more in-depth study of Buddha’s teachings. In the Foundation Program students have a chance to study, receive teachings, share their experiences in paired group discussion, and apply meditation practices of an authentic lineage in their daily life.
Through consistent study and meditation we will reach the point where we can transform any situation, however unpleasant, into a positive experience and an opportunity to make progress in our spiritual development.
Students who enroll in the Teacher Training Program can do so as a Monthly Member and also attend unlimited General Program classes at KMC Florida and its Branches.
If you are interested in enrolling in the program at any time please contact KMC Florida before attending two weeks of trial classes with no obligation.
