Advanced Meditation Teacher Training: Purify

Virtual Training with Hector Marcel

April 6 - April 28

Saturdays & Sundays 9:00am-1:00pm EST

Traditional Tibetan Buddhist meditation practices include spending time on purification, or transforming negative experiences or tendencies into useful tools for developing compassion and wisdom. This month-long training covers the four forces of purification and how to incorporate them into your meditation practice. The four forces of purification target problems at their source, and when practiced regularly dislodge problematic thoughts, memories, behaviors, and traits and allow their energy to be utilized on the path to Enlightenment to increase compassion, joy and insight.

UPON GRADUATION

This is not a teacher credentialing program. Credits from this training can be added to the 200-hour certification program at Three Jewels once a teacher has completed the full 200-hour certification. Nothing in this program supplements the foundation provided in the 200-hour certification program.

Upon graduation students will submit a professional quality video or audio recording of the meditation.

REQUIREMENTS

Practice requirements, community involvement and home study will link the weekends together, giving students the opportunity to apply lessons to real life throughout the training. Students will be required to complete homework and required reading of ancient and modern texts through the training. It is expected that students will maintain a regular meditation practice and a daily meditation journal.
