Teacher Training Programme
This programme comprises the study of 12 of Geshe Kelsang's books. TTP students gradually strive to develop their understanding of Buddha's teachings through applying themselves to study and meditation in a very systematic way.
In addition to classes, there are a number of meditation retreats that need to be completed each year, and also a number of lifestyle commitments. Engaging in TTP is really training to become a fully qualified Mahayana Spiritual Guide.
Whilst being challenging and a definite commitment, TTP is also immensely emotionally and intellectually satisfying.
There are four classes per week, on Monday and Tuesday at 6.30am and 7.30pm, and all classes must be attended. Each class consists of chanted prayers, meditation, teaching and discussion.
Taught by Gen Kelsang Pagpa, who is a qualified teacher of Kadampa Buddhism.
