As many of you know, I’ve always been more than happy to answer your meditation-related questions by email or directly here, in the comment section. Teaching meditation is something I find enjoyable and beneficial for others and myself.

A few months ago, i read about an opportunity to apply for a teacher training course with Upasaka Culadasa (the author of The Mind Illuminated, my main meditation manual). The requirements seemed high, and with practitioners applying from throughout the world, I honestly didn’t think I stood much of a chance. Nevertheless, I still applied (more information on the teacher training and selection process here)

In December 2017, I received an email confirming my acceptance in Culadasa’s teacher training course. I am incredibly grateful to have this opportunity to study under the guidance of a meditation master. I have committed to a more serious daily meditation practice and to teaching meditation, both online and offline, using the techniques taught in The Mind Illuminated.

I will be meeting Culadasa and fellow teachers every two weeks for the next two years. I will also be studying The Mind Illuminated in-depth and other relevant material, such as the Suttas and commentaries.

May this be of benefit to everyone!
