FAQs
Q: I'd like to attend one of your events. Do I need to book?
A: Drop-in classes do not require booking - all you have to do is show up! We do ask you to book for other events however, and you can do this online or by telephone.
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, designed to be taken on its own, so 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. Also, because there are classes running several nights a week around the city, you can pick-and-mix your classes - and you can come to as many as you like!
If you would like to join the Foundation Programme, this would involve a commitment to attend all the classes. If you'd like to know more about what's involved, please contact us.
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 costs include room rent (and rent at the Centre in Meanwood), publicity materials, and transport costs, among others.
Q: I'd like to help the Centre, by donating my time/skills/money. How can I do this?
A: That's great! We do need more help with various aspects of running the Centre, and we are raising funds to move to a bigger property where we can make meditation more accessible to people in Leeds. There are so many ways that people can get involved; please get in touch and let us know your ideas!
Q: I'd like to live in a Dharma Centre. Do you have any space for residents?
A: Sometimes we do have space for residents, and if we move to a bigger building then there will be more opportunities like this. If you would like to discuss what you would like to get from living in a Dharma Centre, and what we would ask of you, please contact us.
Q: The Centre sounds great but I don't live in Leeds. Is there anything like this near me?
A: Please visit Kadampa website and use the Find A Centre search. We hope you will find classes near you.
