Bönpo texts
Bönpo texts are sacred writings from the Bön tradition, an ancient spiritual practice originating in Tibet that predates Buddhism in the region. These texts contain teachings on spiritual practices, rituals, cosmology, and philosophy aimed at understanding the nature of mind, the universe, and achieving spiritual enlightenment. They serve as guides for practitioners to develop wisdom, compassion, and connection to their spiritual roots. While sharing some similarities with Buddhist scriptures, Bönpo texts are distinctive in their origins, languages, and specific knowledge of local deities and environmental elements unique to Tibetan culture.
