General Program classes in Buddhism and meditation take place every week during term time at several locations throughout the Chicago area, in Oak Park, Evanston, Lakeview, Libertyville, and Naperville.

At our main location in Oak Park, Kelsang Lektso teaches during Prayers for World Peace on Sunday mornings at 10am and General Program on Monday evenings at 7pm (see top two links at the left).

These classes have been specially designed to give a clear and practical introduction to Buddhism and meditation. Each class involves guided meditation, teaching, and time for questions and answers. The classes are given by qualified meditation teachers who are all studying on either the Teacher Training Program or the Foundation Program at Vajrayana Buddhist Center.

Whatever your previous experience, everyone can benefit from attending these meditation classes.
