From the moment we are born, we are conditioned to grasp and cling to desire, attaching our happiness to one dream after another.

This creates Samsara – an endless cycle of satiation and misery, which always leaves us chasing our desires.

The teachings of the pathway to Liberation are available through our Trikaya Temple – the meeting place for Dharma Center of Trikaya Buddhism. As a member, you’ll have access to a treasure trove of dharma talks, recorded live at Dharma Center in San Diego. Dive into the practice of Trikaya Buddhism at your own pace from the comfort of your home. Meet up with others who are incorporating the teachings into their lives. Discover Nirvana in the midst of Samsara!

Each talk within the Members Oasis contains gems of wisdom and practical tips designed for people who live and work in the world. Apply the teachings, explore the workings of your mind, and set yourself free!

“I am right smack in the middle of this challenge and I know I have choices. I’m changing regardless of how I feel about it. The benefit of this practice is that I can consciously choose which of the many paths available to me that I want to follow. That’s empowering. I am not a victim. I am not at the effect of the pre-programmed, reactive content of my mind to unexpected, undesirable life events. The higher you go up the mountain the broader the view. Being part of Dharma Center taught me that.”
