Do You Teach Online?

By respect for the teachings, and the Masters of the lineages, Dhaya Dorje has committed himself to only transmit these precious jewels in person.

There is a very wide range of understanding that can go through the mind, and not be assimilated within the entire being. If you misunderstand the teachings, which can happen easily online – instead of being on a direct path, it can keep you away from total freedom in this lifetime.

How to Study with Dhaya

Experience the profound shift of in-person transmission by joining Dhaya Dorje for an upcoming retreat or sacred journey. Beyond his scheduled offerings, you may also request a private, custom-designed retreat or journey for yourself or a select group.

To ensure the depth and integrity of the practice, retreats and sacred journeys are offered exclusively in person. For those seeking focused support on their path, Dhaya is also available for private guidance sessions—available both online and in person—to help you navigate your mind, energy, and spiritual evolution.

Integrating the Natural State into the Play of Life

By Dhaya Dorje • April 19, 2026

Integrating knowledge of the natural state in all aspects of life. This is the true path of Dzogchen. Why? Because your natural state is the only thing permanent, its aware presence remains in everything beyond life and death, day and night, shadow and light. One of the most difficult aspects of integration, meaning remaining undistracted from your true nature in daily life, is when you're living a Pawo Kandro relationship, or a spiritual love relationship. In this type of relationship you are challenged at all moments of life. Those challenges are a great opportunity for you to see where you stand as a Dzogchen practitioner. Are you able to recognize, to be aware of your primordial condition (natural state), in the most difficult conditions? Like emotional crisis, going down in deep shadows of your being, extreme bliss, joy, all of those experiences. If not then to have the awareness of when you are becoming distracted. At this point we have two main levels that go from concentration to contemplation. The first one is easy, just focus more into whatever you are doing, come back to the present and relax. The second one, apply the methods that suit you best to reestablish the recognition of your natural state. Once the recognition is present all the diverse energies, experiences that have been creating tensions, suffering will dissolve by themselves. They become like a big play where you are feeling every thing that is happening in the moment without being distracted by being stuck into them. Your awake love presence shines without flickering. The display of emotions, sensations, visions are just a reflection of the light of the five elements that form your physical matter.

The Role of Sexuality in Dzogchen and Tantra

By Dhaya Dorje • April 13, 2026

Sexuality is a means to experience our natural state at a deeper level, a very incarnate level, within the physical body. Why is that? Because when we are having a sexual relationship or cultivating the sexual energy that brings you towards the physical orgasm, at one moment just before the pre-orgasmic expression, or release, there is a point where you are directly experiencing your natural state or, let's say, meeting with God within. In this teaching we are becoming aware of this space or state and developing it. First of all, we are becoming aware and present within this space, and recognizing this space of pre-physical orgasmic energy, this space of alertness, awareness, pure bliss, and we could also say Love. At the highest level, it is very present, and we can really touch it directly, in the sense, experience it directly. When we are having casual sex, we are not aware of this space. So we are developing practices, especially in Vajrayana and higher Tantras, where you are working with the sexual energy and driving this life force within the central channel. You come to some space of a different type of bliss, where you are present in it and you are aware of what is going on. You are able to see the benefit. It's like meeting with God within. The practices are helping you to recognize this space. So when you do are in a Tantric union, in the yab-yum with your partner, and then you are coming to this point, you're trying to preserve that space, in the sense that if you are having a physical orgasm and release, then you lose this space. So the ultimate is not having a physical orgasm, is to be in a pre-orgasmic moment. And then you experience another type of orgasm there. It's like total satisfaction, in the sense that you are fully nourished by your being, because you feel this tremendous bliss, you are totally alert, 100% shining, your heart is opening more and more, if you are able to stay in this space. And that's what we are developing in the teaching. And by developing this, then it helps you to integrate even more in daily life. This moment is one of the hardest things to integrate in life. Because of how easily you fall into the downfall of the pleasure and put in your energy and mind into the sexual organs, and the pleasure that is there, and then you lose everything at the end.

Finding the True Purpose of Tantra

By Dhaya Dorje • April 13, 2026

Many people in tantra today, especially in new tantra, are doing different types of practices to generate various experiences, single or as a couple. But most of the time, they don't know why they are doing this. Where is it taking them? Is it just for the sensation, the pleasure, and the connection with each other? But why, at the end? Does it take you to some kind of evolution? And where are you directing the practice towards? Where are you directing this exchange towards? This is very important because otherwise you are still wandering around in the infinite field of manifestation and experiences, and not growing, not growing humanly and spiritually. It's the same if we do non-tantric practices. Any type of practice, you say, "Oh, we are doing that," but where does it take us? What is the objective? So we must be very clear. In tantra, what I teach, it is very clear. We are there for the full development of the human being towards their total liberation. And the view is non-dual. So sometimes we use transformation practices, but not if it’s not required. Most of the time, we use self-liberation. This is the empowerment of love, presence. And we are always developing, clearing the different veils, so we can be like a crystal that has become pure. When the light shines through it, it radiates the light, the pure light, like the rainbow's light. So the tantric way of practice, when we do it in a couple, especially if we are exchanging sexual or other energies, with love and presence, then it's empowering. It is amplifying everything. The inner crystal is getting magnetized even more. So things are going to reflect even more, from the impure vision to the pure visions, in a sense; but the crystal has become so clear that only pure vision manifests. And there's no place to hide anymore. At the most advanced stage, we use these means towards the realization or the manifestation of the rainbow body. So alone, we have practices like being in the dark or working with the light, with the non-dual intention. Then, those practices have methods we can apply as a couple. And because everything is amplified, then everything can come to the final stage more easily. But also, because everything is amplified, everything can become very intense. So we need to grow our capacity for integration. Everything is not just beautiful and nice, the universe is created from duality, Yin and Yang, two aspects. To integrate these two aspects, it's only the non-dual approach that works. Then there's no differentiation between light or dark. Whether we have pain and suffering, or we have joy and love, we integrate both energies. The more we grow on the path, the more we gain knowledge and stabilize in our practice, then we integrate both manifestations more easily and don't get lost in them. Everything is becoming a vehicle of liberation.
