Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Can I join if I live outside the Greater Toronto Area (GTA)?
The New Kadampa Tradition has over one thousand Centres and branches throughout the world. In Canada we have 15 Centres and their branches. If you aren't local to the GTA, check this map to find a Centre near you. If you’re not sure, please contact us on [email protected] for advice.
2. What is and isn't included?
All in-person and online General Program (GP) classes at the Temple and our branches are included in your membership as well as participation in either Foundation Program (FP) or Teacher Training Program (TTP) if you are ready to deepen your study. All half-day courses and onsite day and weekend retreats are also free for members. You will also enjoy access to regular informal group Q&A Zoom sessions with the Resident Teacher and other experienced teachers at no additional cost.
Your membership entitles you to 50% off full-day and weekend courses, most special events (including empowerments and our New Year’s Eve celebration), and longer onsite retreats.
Membership does not offer discount for the Ontario Dharma Celebration (held in November each year) and the Canadian National Festival (held in Toronto in the Spring, every third year), because these two events are not organized for the KMCC community alone, but for all of Ontario and/or Canada.
3. Is there a minimum commitment?
No. Your membership is renewed on a month-to-month basis.
4. Can I pause or stop my membership at anytime?
Yes, definitely. Should a change in your circumstances prevent you from attending classes, please let us know and we will pause or stop your membership. You will continue to be able to use it until your last paid month expires.
5. Are class recordings free with membership?
No. When the Resident Teacher teaches at the Temple, if you wish to get a recording, please email [email protected] and request that recording at a modest charge of $5 per class.
