DTO Ordained Teachers and Lay Priests

Since its founding in 2000, the Dharma Teacher Order has been a vehicle to share the Dharma with hundreds of eager students. Students that successfully complete the four year Dharma Studies program receive a certificate of completion and may be eligible to participate in the Dharma Teacher Training Program. At the successful completion of that, a student is ordained as a lay Dharma Teacher. As their teaching experience continues to grow, Dharma Teachers may be offered the opportunity to be ordained as Lay Priests and then as Senior Lay Priests.

Following is a list of students that have received ordination in the Dharma Teacher Order. These people are ordained as part of the 10th generation of the Lieu Quán lineage, and the 44th generation of the Lâm Tế (Linji) lineage of Vietnamese Zen. More information on the lineage of the DTO can be found on the website under the ‘Overview”, “Founder” link. (Direct link).
