These programs are the General Programme, Foundation Programme, and Teacher Training Programme. They are designed for the systematic study and practice of Kadampa Buddhism and are especially suited to the modern world.

There are over 1100 Kadampa Centers and branches in 40 countries around the world where people can study and practice the teachings of Buddha by attending one of these programs. These centres host a range of activities suitable for all levels of experience including the three study programs mentioned above, day courses, weekend courses, meditation retreats and other events.
