Anagārika Pasannacitta
Hi! My name is Michael Turner (my Dhamma name is Pasannacitta).
I am a pre-monastic sakadāgāmi, early Buddhist teacher, enlightenment and streamentry (awakening) mentor, resilience and happiness counsellor, meditation instructor, transformative personal coach, and full-time Buddhist anagārika. I've spent more than 30 years learning and cultivating what I do, and what I do goes far beyond meditation and dharma. I work with Buddhist practitioners of all levels to help them attain measurable spiritual progress toward Nibbāna. This special kind of one-on-one training isn't readily available to lay practitioners and I hope to do my part as I prepare to prepare to become a monk and enter into full-time Buddhist monastic life. Our Dhamma-vinaya student community is donation-funded and I'm available for serious and dedicated practitioners of meditation-and-dharma to course-correct their views, understandings, and practices to help them overcome the challenges and problems that hold them back from making progress along the path toward Buddhist enlightenment. This isn't hocus-pocus, this is practical- and applied-Buddhism, and your progress will be the result of dedication and effort. It is worth noting that what is on-offer here is very special. I am a skilled pre-monastic early Buddhist ācariya and I will be 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. Please visit my home page and my about me to learn more about my style and what it is that I teach. "The only thing that prevents people from attaining Enlightenment and experiencing Nirvana directly is insufficient instruction and/or practice." Categories
