Foundational Bön Buddhist Teachings
At the heart of Tibetan Bön Buddhism are simple yet powerful practices and symbols that shape the path of spiritual growth. From the grounding act of prostration and the guidance of karma, to taking refuge, the meaning of the YungDrung Bön symbol, and the five directions and their energies—these core teachings lay the foundation for understanding and living the Bön tradition.
History of the YungDrung Bön Tradition
YungDrung Bön is Tibet’s oldest spiritual tradition, and the founder of the Bön religion is Buddha Shenrab.
