Bön deities

Bön deities are spiritual beings central to the ancient Tibetan Bön tradition, rooted in pre-Buddhist indigenous beliefs. They include a diverse array of gods, spirits, and protectors associated with natural forces, cosmic principles, and ancestral forces. Bön deities serve roles such as guardians, healers, and teachers, guiding practitioners in spiritual and worldly matters. Unlike the Tibetan Buddhist pantheon, Bön deities often embody primal energies and are invoked for protection, health, and harmony, reflecting a worldview that emphasizes balance with nature and spiritual continuity. Their worship encompasses rituals, offerings, and visualizations specific to the Bön tradition.
