Overview

Enlightenment is real. It exists right now, within you. When we're unhappy, there's always a reason. Happiness, however, does not require a condition. Upon Awakening, the essential quality we express is Unreasonable Joy. It is here, now. Unreasonable Joy: Awakening through Trikaya Buddhism, points the way towards Enlightenment and liberation from suffering. We suffer through tragedies and the daily grind of eat-work-sleep, chasing happiness but finding fleeting pleasure. Built on the foundations of ancient wisdom, a new school called Trikaya Buddhism promises freedom from the suffering of this wearisome cycle. Unreasonable Joy captures Buddha's advanced Tantric teachings and puts them into an American form of Buddhism designed for the modern world. In this book, you will learn: Simple meditation techniques that can be used anywhere, at any time, to calm, strengthen, and refocus the mind How to gain control of your time, life, and mind by releasing the mental and physical habits that create suffering Build self-trust and discover how to use everything as fuel for spiritual growth How to release yourself from the limiting beliefs that blind you to your true nature How to focus on the inner work of changing yourself, not the external world Unreasonable Joy contains proven techniques that the author, Turiya, has taught thousands of people over a 25-year career. The nine lessons explore the power of meditation, mindfulness, karma, emotions, and humility. Turiya provides essays, poems, and stories that ground the esoteric teachings in the world, and Practice Pointers show you how to incorporate them into daily life. Adorned with traditional Tibetan thangka art, the pages invite you into the powerful silence of meditation instantly. Unreasonable Joy gently encourages you to do the work needed to directly experience the ecstasy of existence and recognize who you truly are.
