We are delighted to announce a new idea from Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso called “The Special Teacher Training Programme” This course is a new special course designed by Geshe-la himself to help prepare and train qualified Teachers in Kadampa Buddhism.  The duration of each course is six months, running from April to September each year, and it will be held at Manjushri KMC in the Lake District. The first course will begin in April 2012 with the General Spiritual Director Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong as the Teacher. Thereafter it will be offered yearly and be taught either by the General Spiritual Director or the Deputy Spiritual Director.  For more information please click here.
