Bonpo
Bonpo is a spiritual tradition that originated in Tibet, often considered the indigenous religion of the region. It encompasses a rich tapestry of beliefs, rituals, and practices that predate the arrival of Buddhism in Tibet. Bonpo teachings emphasize the importance of nature, ancestral spirits, and the interconnectedness of all living beings.
The Bon tradition includes various texts, rituals, and meditative practices aimed at achieving spiritual enlightenment and harmony. Bonpo practitioners often engage in ceremonies that honor deities and spirits, reflecting their deep respect for the natural world. Today, Bonpo is recognized as a distinct religious tradition alongside Tibetan Buddhism.
