The Meditation Instructor Training will be held from 22-29 January 2011 .

The practice of meditation is very much the essential basis for our community – and our meditation instructors are the backbone of Shambhala. As a meditation instructor we take on the responsibility to help other people discover their inherent sanity.

This programme offers thorough training for new meditation instructors according to the tradition of Shambhala Buddhism, as transmitted by the Vidyadhara Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche and Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche.

Taking part in this training, and actually taking on the ongoing responsibility to care for and nurture the sanity of others is a deep and profound step. It is an expression of our personal maturity in the practice of meditation, our willingness to extend ourselves to others, and of our personal commitment to the Sakyong and the Shambhala community. Since becoming an MI is a definite step, please reflect on this carefully. It is not just the next credential in the Shambhala community – but a real expression of being willing to help others.

Depending upon successful completion of this programme, you will be authorized as Meditation Instructors within the Shambhala Training mandala,.
