Support Our Service Initiatives
Trika Mahāsiddha Yoga donates 3% of all income from courses to select organizations that are engaged in vigorous and demonstrable work, both politically and physically, to correct ecological and environmental devastation threatening human survival.
All dharma traditions teach that the fruit of the path results in becoming suffused with the virtues of compassion and generosity. As practitioners, one of the ways that we demonstrate our dedication to the welfare of all sentient beings is to give and to serve.
If you would like to give your support here’s where we need it most:
Trika Publications' Support Fund
During Dharma Bodhi’s training, both his Tibetan and Indian masters repeatedly requested that he commit to writing the oral practice instructions and teachings he was receiving. His Tibetan master said it was very important that he translate the prayer books and teaching texts of the tradition he was learning from Tibetan language into the native languages of the students who would be using them.
Writing and translation is currently underway, and it needs ongoing support in order to continue. The first goal is to finish writing the book series on the essential view teachings of the Oral-Practice Tradition and to get them published.
The following books will be completed in this order:
1.
The 12 Stage View Teachings of Oral Mahāsiddha Tradition
2.
6 Realms – Theory & Practice
3.
Way of Fire – The Mahāsiddha Kundalinī Hatha Yoga Theory and Practice
4.
Way of Meditation – Relaxing Mind into Its Nature
5.
Foundations of Mahāsiddha Yoga
Once the above series is completed Dharma Bodhi will begin to translate the key texts of the Dzogchen tradition requested by his master. As Dharma Bodhi is an amateur translator and not a scholar of Tibetan language, especially the highly exacting language used in Dzogchen texts, he will need to enlist support from recognized authorities in this field and offer them compensation for their assistance.
Scholarship Fund
This fund provides students in financial hardship with the opportunity to join paid courses and receive teachings. When you donate to the Scholarship Fund you will be providing financial support for a student to join a course or program. We currently have an active list of students awaiting scholarships. Your donation will be greatly appreciated and put to good use! Dharma Bodhi & Sāhajadakinī provide scholarships for each course as well.
Patron Fund
Dharma Bodhi’s deepest desire is to be able to write text books and teach the programs of Trika Mahāsiddha Yoga at no cost to the students. He is prevented from teaching and writing fulltime because he must also work to support his family of four in Costa Rica. Dharma has worked many different jobs over the course of his life. He and his wife, Sahajadākinī, have a strong work ethic. But there is only so much time in one’s life.
In ancient times, wealthy patrons recognized the essential role of Ācāryas or traditional spiritual preceptors. The culture was organized so that the local preceptor would receive direct financial support from the wealthier strata of the society. Trika Mahāsiddha Yoga is in need of patrons who understand the necessity of this model and wish to help make the teachings available regardless of economic status.
If you are desiring to help Trika Mahāsiddha Yoga become financially self-sufficient there are a number of options available to you:
1.
You may donate a lump sum.
2.
You may deposit a large amount of money into the local cooperative bank which will give between 10 and 12 percent interest per year based on the amount deposited. The principle would remain in your name and the interest could be given to support TMY’s work.
3.
You may designate TMY as an inheritor of your estate.
