Taught by our resident teacher: Gen Kelsang Rigma Our new Teacher Training Program (TTP) recently started. TTP is for those who wish to become qualified teachers of Kadampa Buddhism and also for those who wish to gain a clear insight into Buddha's teachings and deep experience of their practice. We will begin the programme by studying the text "The Bodhisattva Vow". In studying this text we will come to understand a how we can live our life in a way that is compassionate with respect to others - we will study how to live a Bodhisattva’s way of life. This book is always the very first TTP book studied as it is an essential companion for travelling the Mahayana Buddhist path. After studying "The Bodhisattva Vow" we will then go on to study the below 13 texts on Sutra and Tantra (which include the 6 FP texts). Aside from studying, the TTP student is required to maintain certain commitments with regard to behaviour and way of life, and to complete a number of Meditation Retreats each year. |
