TRIKĀYA

 

 

 

TRIKA

in Sanskrit means “the three” and refers to the 3 essential aspects or “bodies” existing potentially as one reality in every human being: spaciousness, energy potentials & physical embodiment. “Three” also denotes the 3 gateways of practice - body, energy & mind.

  

MAHĀSIDDHA

refers to the Self-Realized Adepts of the highest spiritual attainment - who resolved individual physical embodiment through the process of the wisdom-light body. 

 

YOGA

means “union” and “technology” and refers to the path itself as well as bringing all three aspects of being (body, energy & mind) into union as one’s true nature.

How to Get Started in Trikāya

The advice from our ancient masters is that “The Path is the Goal”. The goal of enlightenment can seem impossible to comprehend or to attain. Because of this we are advised to focus on the Path itself as the goal. Practicing in this way is fulfilling because we always feel that we are already in the fruit of practice. There’s no “one right way” to get started in your Trikāya path of practice. Our system of practice can be entered in many different ways. We encourage you to find the way that is right for you. You may choose to attend the live online courses, cohorts or in-person retreats that pique your interest. Or study in your own pace with the pre-recorded courses.  These can be found in the full course schedule. Or you may be looking for a more structured way to approach your learning in Trikāya. Both ways are fine. If you would like a more structured way of learning, then take a moment to familiarize yourself with the different ways to begin engaging with Trikāya’s teachings and practices explained below. Choose one or more staring points and begin creating your Path.
