Teacher Training Program

Sundays 4:00 – 7:30 pm

What is the Teacher Training Program?

Through a deep and continuing commitment to the program of study, meditation, discussion, and retreat, we can gain deep experience of Buddha’s teachings, establish a strong meditation practice, and become a qualified teacher in our own right.

What will we be studying?

Teacher Training Program is studying Mahamudra Tantra, by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso with Gen Kelsang Chokyi, Resident Teacher.

Mahamudra is the union of the most subtle mind that experiences great bliss and realizes ultimate truth - the way things actually exist. From his practical experience, Geshe Kelsang Gyatso explains how to prepare our mind for Mahamudra meditation, how to remove obstacles to successful practice, and how we can experience progressively subtler states of mind.

By explaining how to uncover and purify the deepest level of our mind and to use this very subtle blissful mind to meditate on ultimate truth, he shows how we can destroy all our negative minds at their very root and quickly reach the state of full enlightenment.
