The Center offers a variety of Buddhist classes throughout the year. Most of them are suitable for both beginners and those already familiar with Buddhism.

Shambhala School of Buddhist Studies

This is a four-cycle program of practice and study for anyone interested in learning about Shambhala Buddhism and meditation. Students do not need to be or become a Buddhist to take these courses, although that opportunity will be provided for those who want to do so.

This course of study will also prepare students for Sutrayana Seminary, if they desire to take their study and practice further. All students will be encouraged to take Shambhala Training levels and other offerings at the center concurrently.

Each cycle provides:
- weekly classes as well as one-day, two-day, and weekend intensives
- courses in each of the three yanas
- a community practice intensive
- teachings of the Sakyong, the Vidyadhara, and other teachers
- a central transmission and contemplation

These four cycles could be completed in 2 years: one cycle in the fall and one in the winter/spring of each year.
