Turiya Dhara

Turiya Dhara teaches Trikaya Buddhism, a practice consisting of meditation, applied mindfulness, an excellent sense of humor, and respect for all who seek Truth. On this path, form follows function, in the sense of using the teachings that work in our modern world. Wisdom and techniques from traditions such as Vajrayana, Zen, Bhakti Yoga, and Mysticism are unified in this American form of practical Buddhism. The flexibility of this path allows methods to be shared based on the needs of individual students. Turiya’s practice of meditation began as a child, however at the time she didn’t know that was what sitting in silence was called. Once she became a student of Rama in 1992, she learned the true power of meditation as a method for personal transformation and Awakening to all that we are. In 1994 Rama empowered her to teach as a Buddhist monk. After moving to San Diego, she opened Dharma Center meditation hall in 1998 and began writing books to share Trikaya Buddhism with the public.
