Teacher Training Program

A gathering of people participating in a meditation or spiritual session in a room with Buddhist statues on an altar at the front. A monk or spiritual leader in traditional robes is speaking at a microphone. Attendees are seated on cushions and chairs, some taking notes, facing the altar.

The Teacher Training Program is designed for people who wish to train as authentic Dharma Teachers in the New Kadampa Tradition. In addition to completing the study of fourteen texts of Sutra and Tantra, including the six texts studied on the Foundation Program, students are required to observe certain commitments with regard to behaviour and way of life, and to complete a number of meditation retreats each year.

This is not a walk-in program and enrollment is required. Students must have received Highest Yoga Tantra empowerments within the New Kadampa Tradition in order to study most of the books in this program. When students sign up for this program, they have a strong intention and commit to complete the study of all the 12 subjects of the program without stopping.
