The Bodhisattva Vow

Sundays 10am - 12noon, 12.45pm - 2.15pm

0This is a wonderful opportunity to study and practise Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche’s book "The Bodhisattva Vow". In this welcome guide we learn how to take and keep the Bodhisattva vows, how to purify negative minds, and how to practise the Bodhisattva’s actions of giving, moral discipline, patience, effort, concentration and wisdom.

The Teacher of TTP is Kadam John McBretney, the Resident Teacher of Heruka KMC. He has been studying, practising and teaching Kadampa Buddhism for 30 years. Kadam John has received oral teachings directly from Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche over a long time and he incorporates many inspiring aspects of these teachings into the study programmes that he teaches.

Teacher Training Programme (TTP) offers practitioners of Kadampa Buddhism the opportunity to study deeply, gain practical experience of both Sutra and Tantra and, if they wish, train to become qualified Dharma Teachers. However it’s not just for those who wish to teach formally, because we all teach through our example and the advice we give to friends and family. TTP gives us great confidence in our own practice and in our ability to explain Kadam Dharma to others.

Sundays 10am - 12noon, 12.45pm - 2.15pm

The programme consists of a dynamic combination of teachings, meditations, discussion and teaching skills classes providing a multi-faceted approach to the development of authentic spiritual experience.

With Resident Teacher Kadam John McBretney

Students on the programme are required to observe several commitments, namely to keep good discipline, attend all the teaching and discussion classes as well as sit examinations. Students are also encouraged to participate in regular meditation retreats that will be scheduled throughout the year.
