Practical Dharma & Sīla Mind Training
​

Read Reviews by Students

What is on-offer here is very special.  I am an pre-monastic early Buddhist teacher, a full-time anagārika, and an ariya-puggala who is on a path toward higher-ordination as a Buddhist monk, scholar, and teacher.  There are few people outside of authentic Buddhist monasteries who can genuinely offer this kind of applied guidance and advanced training to lay practitioners in order to coach them toward streamentry and spiritual awakening.

My tutelage is in applied-Buddhism via sīla coaching and habit-transformation.  Put simply, I teach my students how to transform everyday challenges and uncommon adversity into the joy, peacefulness, and contentment.  And I work with practitioners of all levels, from those who are new to Buddhism to those who are deeply-advanced followers.

​
I teach, coach, and train my students with a high degree of emphasis on sīla and the Early Buddhist Texts (EBT); and, the practical application of the Three Higher Trainings (i.e., adhisīla-sikkhā, adhicitta-sikkhā, adhipaññā-sikkhā), the Three Characteristics (i.e., anicca, dukkha, anattā), the Four Noble Truths, the Four Brahmavihārās (a.k.a., the four immeasurables of loving-kindness, compassion, altruistic joy, and unbiased equanimity), the Five Aggregates, the Eight Worldly Concerns, and the Ten Pāramīs (a.k.a., the ten perfections) coupled with a strong and stable ānāpānasati meditation practice as a practical and realistic path to the clearly defined stages of awakening, enlightenment, and Nibbāna.

​My focus is deeply-rooted in the traditional practices and the canonical views of Early Buddhism (e.g., actual practice, emphasising ānāpānasati and the sutta piṭaka), coupled with some time-tested mind-training and applied-Dharma techniques to accelerate your progress toward streamentry and through the Stages of Buddhist Enlightenment.

Be prepared to let go of some long-held beliefs, views, and practices that are, in fact, keeping you from the success that you are looking to attain.  When it comes to developing the skills and practices that are required for actual spiritual progress, such as streamentry and once-returning, nothing that isn't true Dhamma-Vinaya or Right View should be held as sacred.

Personal One-on-One & Small Group-based Instruction
​

Read Reviews by Students

Highly-personalised, insightful, and practical Buddhist training for those who are serious about wanting to step-up their practice and spiritually level-up.

I offer direct one-on-one and group-based Buddhist instruction for those who would like to actually integrate the Buddha's teachings (i.e., the Dharma/Dhamma) into their daily lives to address the real-world obstacles that get in the way of their practice, in the way of their peace-of-mind, and ultimately in the way of their progress toward spiritual success.

Within the guidelines of the Dhamma-Vinaya, together we will assess and course-correct your views, understandings, and practices to bring them in-line with what the Buddha actually taught.  Doing so will provide you with a practice framework from which you can adopt more skilful ways to address old, unskilful problems using highly-practical and easily-applicable canonical views and techniques that can be used right away to start generating perceptibly positive changes to the general state of your practice and of your mind.

Developing these kinds of Right views and skills will cultivate a resilient foundation to experience genuine and sustainable progress toward uprooting your fetters and realising increasing measures of freedom from dukkha out here in the "real world," not in spite of life's inevitable challenges, but because of them.

Genuine Enlightenment Coaching
​

Read Reviews by Students

This is not just about cultivating mindfulness or equanimity; it's about making progress — real and perceivable progress — toward Buddhist enlightenment; toward Nibbāna.

There are four clearly defined Stages of Enlightenment and it's my firm intention to help as many people as I can to successfully achieve their moment of awakening and to progress through the first two stages of Buddhist enlightenment, commonly referred to as Streamentry (sotāpanna) and Once-returner (sakadāgāmin).  Progress beyond those two attainments will mostly depend on you and your determination to cultivate the Path.

You will learn to make progress toward and through the stages of enlightenment by way of pattern-, perspective-, thought-, and habit-transformations; by transforming life's ordinary and extraordinary problems into opportunities for the practical application of the Dharma — this isn't about sitting or breathing, because spiritual progress isn't made on the cushion, it's made out here in the real world.
