states of mind. Currently we are studying

Teacher Training Program
To gain deep experience of Buddha's teachings, establish a strong meditation practice and become a qualified teacher it is important to have a qualified Teacher who can give us personal advice and encouragement, to listen to pure Dharma teachings and to belong to a strong spiritual community.
The teacher training program (TTP) is designed for people who wish to train as authentic Dharma Teachers. In addition to completing the study of twelve texts of Sutra and Tantra, the student is required to observe certain commitments with regard to behavior and way of life, and to complete a number of meditation retreats.
We are currently studying Heart of Wisdom. Please contact the Center for more information.
