Teacher
Our Resident Teacher, Gen Kelsang Thekchen, is a senior meditation teacher in the New Kadampa Tradition.
This 4 week series is concluding our study of the book “New Heart of Wisdom”. We will be looking at the teachings in the appendices on the 18 elements and the 12 dependent related links. These teach us how to understand the never-ending cycle of uncontrolled rebirth called samsara and how to escape from it. The last class will be a teaching skills class, where we can learn how to be an effective teacher of meditation and Buddhism.
This series is perfect for those wishing to join either the Tuesday Foundation Programme or the Teacher Training Programme as it will introduce students to the format of the classes which include: prayers, guided meditation, an oral transmission of the text with commentary and paired discussion.
