The Teacher Training Program

Teacher Training Program is for those students who wish to become qualified Kadampa Buddhist Teachers.  Highest Yoga Tantra empowerment is required to study on this program. For more information on joining the Study Programs please contact our Education Program Coordinator at epc@meditationinorlando.org

Highest Yoga Tantra Empowerment will be given at the International Summer Festival this Summer of 2023. Think about coming to this Festival and how this experience will connect you to an international Sangha Family while granting you the precious empowerments that lead to freedom from suffering quickly! 

We will re-start the Teacher Training Program in the Fall of 2023 if we have enough students with HYT empowerment. Check back here at the end of August for an update on the program.
