“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 of Trikaya Buddhism taught me that.”
~ R. Reynolds, Dharma Center Member since 2009

Join Our Member Oasis
Dharma Center of Trikaya Buddhism is a gem of Ocean Beach that has been offering public classes since 1998 because of the gracious support from people like you.
Dharma Center offers “Pay What You Wish” meditation classes to the public. We are able to offer donation-based sessions because of the support of our Members. Students learn how to live and work in the world through a variety of powerful meditation and mindfulness practices given by our team of teachers. In order to thank our Members, we have created this Oasis of Light. Within this portal, you can explore the teachings of Trikaya Buddhism at your own pace, wherever you are – and connect with other Members!
Touching the Dharma, even just once, can enrich a person’s entire life, opening them to possibilities they never knew existed.
We are a Volunteer-run organization dedicated to making your world a brighter and happier place by offering classes in meditation and mindfulness. Thank you for your support!
Feeling inspired, but not interested in joining the community?
No worries! Participation in any of our events is never required. You can even unsubscribe from our mailing list. You will continue to get emails from us and our payment processors regarding donations and tax receipts. Your contribution helps us continue to offer meditation classes to the public; with our Pay What You Wish tuition no one is turned away.
Our Trikaya Temple continues to grow and expand with the help of the teachers who give their time to share their wisdom, and the student volunteers who enjoy selfless giving and participating in their community. All of this is made possible by the financial contributions of Members and Supporters which allow us to maintain a space to meet physically and online. As members and supporters together, we take care of our community and continue to spread the gift of Trikaya Buddhism, meditation and mindfulness for all who seek happiness and light.
