Bon is regarded as the oldest spiritual tradition of Tibet. Its unbroken lineage is traced back thousands of years before the birth of the historical buddha Shakyamuni, to the legendary buddha Tonpa Shenrab Miwoche.

@@NepalShaman I'm sorry my friend but this is not true. Yoga is not exclusive to India, it was practiced across the ancient world under different names. There is also Indian Tantra that originated from North Kashmir, not just in Tibet, two different forms of Tantra. Also Tantra can be found in other cultures under different names. Shamanism is present in all ancient cultures.

For some reason I have been drawn to learning more about the Bon tradition in Tibet lately, mainly through watching KZfaq videos. I'm grateful to know that the tradition and practices survive. What this Bon master says is so true and it only makes me more curious to learn about Bon and Tibetan Buddhist traditions as well. What he says about human values and how we are lost, confusing what we need with what we want resonates with me. Thank you for this . . .

Seeking connection, with shamanism, yes, this is part of it. For myself, it has been seeking healing, with the tools of shamanism able to restore broken and lost aspects of the soul. A connection with my ancestral roots, to heal and shift this, in that I am part indigenous and I experience the cosmos of having a breath of authenticity, being true and honest with the body one is inhabiting and its evolutionary story, to breath in this and bring healing to these ancestors in my bones, my DNA, and these connections. It is a very creative form of spiritual connection and is closest to the source for me and not attached to the structures, the doors, the forms that have been constructed by humans after a master teacher has walked on the planet. Source, it seems like a direct access, more clear access to the source of the wellspring of living without the politics and strife inherent within the structure, the form, of spiritual/religious traditions, it removes all human muck that may block or distort or misguided or manipulate or deceive using these forms for other than their original intent. As an artist, a movement artist once, there was a spark of creativity in a form called improvisation which is being utterly honest and authentic with what comes up. The process of make the dance may draw from the improvisations, and the power of the experience is lost in translation, and one always returns to the source. For spiritual traditions, I sense for myself an impression that there have been things lost in translation so to speak with knowledge passed along through human to human, and shamanism is a way of connecting directly to source and integrates a creative component. Creativity I have not found in most spiritual forms and creativity in my personal path seems essential to manifesting what it is the form communicates is the goal or intention.

Sir, you are talking about the Buddhist Bon religion. Actually Bon is just the nature. It's the religion of nature. Here Nature projects itself as the God. The Buddhist Bon religion came after many years. Before the unification of Tibet there was no Buddhist Bon religion. In old Bon religion people worship Nature. But Tibetan Buddhist Bon religion they worship the Guru not Nature. They worship humane being not Nature. Old Bon religion is just the projection of Nature worship.

very refreshing to hear a buddhist talk about how essential nature is to our spiritual practice. I think modern day Buddhism has lost this connection to nature, seeing it as something seperate from their Dharma. But this talk shows how it actually the essence to the secret practices of Buddhism (Tantra).

Can you please, dear Master, or someone advise me please? Why, are colors of light, representing water and space, switched between Bon and Dzogchen as it's practiced in Chogyal Namkhai Norbu's community (for example). Color of space in Bon is white, while in Dz(NN) it's blue, while white is water there. I am fascinated with Bon, and Chogyal N. Norbu had profoud respect for it, so there must be Good reason he still kept "his" colors.. and vice versa. Also root sillable for earth is I think Kham in Bon, while it can be Lam somewhere outside Bon. I would expect it's from the same, genuine experience, so why it's different. Probably there is (i hope) emphasis on different aspect of the element? Many Thanks for answers

Shamans, siberian and mongolian specifically, are polytheists. But, if to them, the world is full of spirits, then that view is also pantheistic; and spirits being an expression and mediums of the Divine, it is also panentheistic. Words gets in the way sometimes and can create confusion.

The problem with Bon practitioners is that they are as impoverished as other Tibetans.The danger is that they get (ab)used by wealthy people (in the west there are plenty of those) who ask them to do black magic for the s e l f i s h purposes of the person who pays them....as Bon magicians are v e r y skilled in both white a n d black magic,they will have to make a choice at that point .....

I was interested in the singing bowl stuff, but the animal sacrifice bothers me, even past tense. Not that it doesn't exist in many other religions... I like the Native American idea, where you give thanks to the animal that died so you could eat, and I never heard of any AmerIndians (American Indians, differing from Indians from India) killing animals because they sickly like to watch them suffer for a warped person's entertainment. That they don't even bother to eat.
