Overview
Mission
Trikāya (Trika Mahasiddha Yoga) presents a clear and comprehensive path of practice rooted in nondual dharma traditions, designed to guide practitioners toward realization of their True Nature through structured training and oral teachings. This practitioner cohort forms a community of practitioners taking the way of the Wuwei Adept of Daoism and/or the Way of the Vajra of Indo-Tibetan Meditation. Cohort meetings are a time to get together and support each other in taking the _Way_ that has no standards, no expectations, or well-defined steps. It’s a melting pot of experiences, ideas, methods and most of all an affirmation of a sense of camaraderie based on a shared inner knowing. Pre-requisite:** Has taken a Direct Meditation retreat either online or in-person (_Meets about 1 time / month.)_.
What it reported doing in 2024
Spiritual retreats and educational seminars abroad.
Operating model

The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work.
