Choose from a range of introductory courses scheduled throughout the year, ranging from the 10-day Discover Buddhism courses to more topic-oriented short courses, which give you a deeper insight into one particular topic.

The Discover Buddhism courses give you an overview of Tibetan Buddhist principles and meditations in the form of the Lam Rim, the complete path to enlightenment. They are offered as a ten-day or seven-day course. The ten-day course includes a two-day silent retreat, perfect to get experience in meditation in a supportive, conducive environment.

Or choose the 7-day course which might suit your time frame better. Also offered are some 10-day courses for those who only have a flexible time available. The 7 or 10-day Discovering Buddhism courses are the first stepping stone towards attending intermediate and advanced courses.
This course forms the foundation for other, more advanced programmes and is a requirement for the intermediate courses and some retreats. During the course you will receive guidance on setting up your own daily practice.
If you are interested in Buddhism, or experience problems in your life such as uncontrolled emotions, or dissatisfaction, this course will give you some skills to address these issues and make your life more fulfilling and meaningful. In the process you will meet like minded people and make new friends – friends that have shared your experience, and will provide support on the path.
