TRIKĀYA
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.

"Entering the Stream"
This is the traditional way of beginning Dharma practice. Entering the Stream gives a progressive method of learning and practice wherein each step builds upon the previous step, thus creating a solid foundation, overview and understanding of the teachings, practices and path. It is recommended that you first take the Preliminaries of Trikāya, followed by the Foundations of Trikāya. Though some students who are more ambitious and have a bit more time on their hands will engage with Preliminaries, Foundations and Kundalinī Hatha Yoga simultaneously, while they prepare to attend the next offering of the Entering the Stream In-Person Retreat, and that’s ok too.
