As Buddhist spiritual practice finds an increasing presence within

American society, there is both an opportunity and a need to train

Buddhist practitioners to serve as spiritual caregivers and chaplains.

The Sati Center for Buddhist Studies is offering a year long training

program to provide an introduction to spiritual care skills from a

Buddhist perspective. This is a unique opportunity to study Buddhist

principles and practices relevant to spiritual caregiving, as well as

an introduction to the psychological, social, and ethical issues

related to chaplaincy.

Chaplains offer spiritual care in hospitals, hospices, and prisons.

Because chaplains regularly meet with people in personal crises,

chaplaincy is a powerful form of service and, for Buddhist

practitioners, a challenging situation for their practice.
