FAQs about weekly classes
Q: I'd like to attend one of your events. Do I need to book?
A: Drop-in classes don't need a booking - all you have to do is show up. We do ask people to book for events and day courses so we can prepare the centre. You can do this by sending an email or by calling the centre
Q: Why do you request a donation for classes?
A: We request a donation as a contribution to the running costs of the classes. Our centre is entirely self-suporting and our costs include renting the Amitabha Centre and branch class venues, publicity materials and transport, and the costs associated with our Resident Teacher attending teachings and receiving training from our Spiritual Guide at the Kadampa Festivals in the UK
Q: I want to come to classes but I fear I have missed the first of the series of classes this term. Should I wait till next term?
A: There's no need to wait til next term comes round, as each class is self-contained and designed to be taken on its own. You can actually join anytime
Q: I'd like to come to classes but sometimes I have commitments that mean I couldn't come every week. What would you advise?
A: Drop-in classes mean that you can come as and when is suitable for you. If you would like to join the Foundation Programme, this would involve a commitment to attend all the classes or arrange to study by correspondence. If you'd like to know more about what's involved, please contact Gen Demo
