A study-led centre
The centre is affiliated with FPMT, which means it follows the spiritual direction of Lama Zopa Rinpoche and uses FPMT's educational programs and material. That lineage links back to Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche, and it gives the classes a clear, traditional frame.
The centre describes itself as a place for study as well as practice. Lectures and structured courses are the main shape of the teaching, and the course on Buddhist psychology and the nature of the mind is one example of the longer format.
When the classes run
Most classes start in the evening, and the weekend holds much of the teaching, so the rhythm of the week is built around people who work during the day. Sessions usually last around two hours, and some run over two days.
A handful of classes are listed, which means the space is quiet and selective rather than busy. The temple and the library of Dharma books give the centre a calm, settled feel that suits a slower approach to practice.
