Buddhist Studies Institute

Dear Friends,

If you are distraught about the condition of the world today, there is something you can do. You can become a certified Meditation teacher offering leadership, compassion, support and the possibility of peace.

Many of you wrote to us this past week asking for a little more time. In response, and with the wish to make this training accessible to all who feel called, we have extended the Early Bird rate for the 2026 Meditation Teacher Training until December 1st.

This program is one of our most cherished offerings. It brings together seasoned practitioners, new meditators, and dedicated students who wish to deepen their experience, stabilize their practice, or learn to guide others with clarity and confidence. It is a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the Buddhist lineage while receiving practical tools for teaching meditation in modern contexts.

If you have been considering joining us, this extension creates a little more space to listen deeply, settle your intention, and take your next step.

What This Training Offers
• A full curriculum rooted in Buddhist philosophy
• Direct support and mentorship from Pema Khandro, Aruna Rigdzin and Satya Shiva
• A community committed to authenticity, inquiry, and transformation
• Skill-building in guiding meditation with presence, precision, and compassion
• Opportunities for practice, and embodied understanding
• Completion of a foundational pillar of Buddhist Chaplaincy Training.
•
For graduates who feel called to teach: the opportunity to apply for BSI’s Daily Meditation Online teaching team and future support roles.

Whether you plan to teach meditation formally or simply wish to stabilize your own inner life, this training offers a profound journey. Many graduates tell us that the most meaningful outcomes were the deep relationships, the sense of belonging, and the transformation that arose through steady practice.

If you feel that pull toward deeper practice, toward sharing meditation with others, or toward understanding the Buddhist path more fully, we welcome you to join us.

Extended Early Bird Tuition
The Early Bird rate is now available through December 1st. After that date, standard tuition applies.

We encourage you to register soon if you intend to participate. Space is limited, and we want all who are committed to join with ease.

May this training support your practice, deepen your confidence, and nurture your wisdom in the year ahead.

With warmth,
The Team at the Buddhist Studies Institute
