Bön tradition

Bön is an ancient spiritual tradition originating in Tibet, predating the arrival of Buddhism in the region. It encompasses a rich tapestry of beliefs, rituals, and practices, focusing on the worship of deities, spirits, and the natural world. Bön emphasizes the importance of both personal enlightenment and the harmony of all living beings. Its teachings include meditation, rituals, and the use of sacred texts known as the "Bönpo" scriptures. While Buddhism has become more prominent in Tibet, Bön remains a vital cultural and spiritual practice, preserving unique customs and insights into Tibetan identity and worldview.
