Right Mindfulness Training Academy (RMTA)

Right Mindfulness Training Academy (RMTA) was formed in January 2018 affiliated with YBEF, for the long-term purposes of systematically introducing Buddhist concepts and mindfulness practice to society in the United States, and promoting international Buddhist educational exchange.


What Makes Our Programs Unique?

At a time when Mindfulness is the subject of many popular books and articles, when many in popular culture are turning to techniques to calm and strengthen the mind, Right Mindfulness Training Academy (RMTA) is committed to bring the authentic Buddha’s Teachings and to localize the Teaching to the West of present days with the collaborative efforts of Ordained Monastics and lay practitioners.

To keep abreast with the worldwide trend of professionalism, globalization, and scientization of world educators nowadays, RMTA aims to vigorously train and support teachers and professionals in establishing strong and solid educational background, teaching capability, broad global view and high proficiency in meditative techniques.

Through this program, we anticipate participants to be endowed with a professional degree, noble personality and ability, and the spirit of serving others. Arena of Buddhism is getting greater in the future under globalization. Training and bringing the outstanding talented people together is the most urgent concern and the top priority in Buddhism. RMTA is doing the best towards achieving this goal, and your participation and support to us is greatly appreciated! 


Objectives of RMTA:

  1. To introduce and promote Buddhism in Western countries, especially in the USA, by means of training Buddhist teachers who are proficient in English and familiar with the local cultures in the West.
  2. To serve and meet the spiritual needs of local communities, such as providing instructors to teach mindfulness retreats at schools, colleges, and to other social groups upon request, as well as to organize seminars on relevant topics, etc.
  3. To create a platform for international Buddhist exchange, especially between countries in the East and the West. This will include encouraging multilateral interactions and promoting understanding of different faiths and spiritual practices, all of which is essential to promoting world peace.


The first educational program to be introduced is “Diploma in Buddhist Studies (DBS)”.  Click here to learn more about our educational program to be introduced on Diploma in Buddhist Studies (DBS), and to register for the program.

This very unique learning opportunity offers courses which are taught primarily by fully ordained monastics and lay teachers.
