Special Teacher Training Programme
Please note that from April there will be a break in the Special Teacher Training Programme,
classes will resume again after the Fall Festival in October.
The Special Teacher Training Programme (STTP) at Manjushri KMC was designed by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche to train qualified Teachers of Modern Kadampa Buddhism. It is taught by Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong.
The core of the programme is the study and meditation classes based on the books of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.
The purpose of the study component is to enable students to gain an understanding of the deep meanings of Buddha’s teachings and learn how to apply them to modern daily life. The purpose of the meditation component is to enable the students to gain practical experience of the meaning of the teachings. Qualified Teachers need both.

There are two ways to participate in the programme:

Current programme
The programme is completing the study of The New Eight Steps to Happiness Part 2 in April 2026.
