Teacher Training Program – Try It Out
Teacher Training Program (TTP) is a twice weekly course where practitioners deepen their knowledge and experience of Buddhism and train as qualified New Kadampa Tradition teachers. This fall, we begin our study of one of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyato’s most profound books, Ocean of Nectar. Classes include prayer, meditation, retreat, teaching and discussion. Our retreats in January, while open to everyone, are offered with TTP students in mind and are part of this study program.
You are welcome to attend the Sept. 14 & 17 classes on a trial basis (RSVP required). No commitment needed unless you decide to continue! To RSVP or if you have questions, please contact Lowanna Mobley, Education Program Coordinator, at [email protected] by Sept 1.
- Classes are Sunday afternoons 4-6 PM and Wednesday evenings 6:30-8:30 PM.
- Attend classes in person or online. Teacher Training Program is livestreamed and recorded for registered students.
