    The Teacher.

    Anagārika Michael Turner Buddhist Teacher, Dhamma Trainer, Dharma Coach
    Anagārika Michael Turner

    Hi! My name is Mike Turner. I am a pre-monastic Early Buddhist teacher and a fulltime Buddhist anagārika.

    ​I've spent almost 30 years learning and cultivating what I do, and what I do goes far beyond meditation and dharma.

    I work with dedicated Buddhist practitioners 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."
