Bon religion
Bon is an ancient spiritual tradition originating in Tibet, predating Buddhism in the region. It encompasses shamanistic practices, spiritual rituals, and beliefs centered on harmony with nature and reverence for ancestors. Bon aims to understand the spiritual world, seeking protection, healing, and guidance through rituals, chants, and sacred symbols. Today, it coexists alongside Tibetan Buddhism, sharing some practices while maintaining unique rituals and cosmology. Bon serves as both a spiritual path and cultural identity for many Tibetans, emphasizing balance, spiritual insight, and respect for the natural and supernatural worlds.
