The Basic Program, one of the many Buddhist study programs offered by FPMT, was conceived by Lama Zopa Rinpoche. The modules of the Basic Program are catered specially for students who are ready to commit themselves to a more in-depth study of Buddhist philosophy. It is helpful if interested students have some prior knowledge of the Lam Rim and Buddhist tenets.

ABC's Basic Program started in Aug 2003. The five-year study includes assignments, group discussions and an examination at the end of each module. The aim is to ensure that students develop a correct understanding of Dharma as a basis for daily practice and further study.
