About the teacher
Dharma Bodhi
Dharma Bodhi, born Kol Martens, has practised in the nondual contemplative traditions for more than fifty years. Those traditions are Yoga, Daoism, Bön, Dzogchen and the wisdom traditions of Native America, and he names two of his teachers as his heart teachers: Swami Satyananda Saraswati and H.H. the 33rd Menri Trizin Lungtok Tenpai Nyima, head of the Bön tradition.
The system he founded, Trikāya, is his attempt to teach those two inheritances as one path. He argues they are not separate: Indian tantric yoga and Tibetan Dzogchen differ in sequence, emphasis and vocabulary, he says, but agree in most of their theory and practice, and arrive at the same fruit.
He teaches online courses and practitioner cohorts, and leads residential retreats abroad: recent ones have been in Chiang Mai and in Portugal. He lives in Maine with his family, where the Trikāya Center is based.
