< /strong>
\nFoundation Program is a special opportu nity to study and practice Buddha’s teaching in a in a more in depth forma l study program. It is our advanced class\, and we recommend people atten d a few General Program classes before considering participating in this c lass. However\, it is open to everyone at anytime.
\nThe New Heart of Wisdom is an extraordinary book. It reveals the direct and hidden meani ngs of Buddha’s Perfection of Wisdom Sutras in a way that we can apply them to our modern life.
\nAs soon as we star t reading we feel as if we are transported back to 567 BC listening to Bud dha himself as he delivers the Sutra on Massed Vultures Mountain.
\nThen reading Venerable Geshe-la’s commentary to the Sutra we are brought i mmediately to the present day and see clearly how the profound meaning of this Sutra can be applied to solving the problems of modern life and to tr ansforming our daily life into the path to liberation and enlightenment. p>\n
And when we read in the appendices how to apply the meaning of the Sutra to Tantric practice and experience the union of profundity and clari ty\, we see how it is possible to complete this journey swiftly through pr acticing the union of Sutra and Tantra.

\nFive Subjects
\nThe program compr ises the following five subjects\, based on Buddha’s Sutra teachings and t he corresponding commentaries by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso:
\nThe benefits of studyin g and practicing these texts are as follows:
\nJoyful Path of Good Fortune a> – we gain the ability to put all Buddha’s teachings of both Sutra and T antra into practice. We can easily make progress on and complete the stage s of the path to the supreme happiness of enlightenment. From a practical point of view\, the Stages of the Path is the main body of Buddha’s teachings\, and the other teachings are like its limbs.
\nUniversal Compassion and Eight Steps to Happines s – we gain the ability to integrate Buddha’s teachings into our daily lives and solve all our human problems.
\nHeart of Wisdom – we gain a realization o f the ultimate nature of reality. By gaining this realization we can elimi nate the ignorance of self-grasping\, which is the root of all our sufferi ng.
\nMea ningful to Behold – we transform our daily activities into the Bodhisa ttva’s way of life\, thereby making every moment of our human life meaning ful.
\nUnderstanding the Mind – we understand the relationship between our mi nd and its external objects. If we understand that objects depend upon the subjective mind\, we can change the way objects appear to us by changing our own mind. Gradually we shall gain the ability to control our mind and in this way solve all our problems.
