Bonpo traditions

Bonpo traditions originate from Tibet’s indigenous spiritual practices, predating Buddhism in the region. They emphasize harmony with nature, spiritual rituals, and ancestor worship, integrating shamanistic and animistic elements. Core practices include rituals, meditation, and offerings to spirits to ensure protection, health, and prosperity. Bon emphasizes balance between humans, spirits, and the environment, with a deep respect for sacred sites and natural features. Despite influences from Buddhism, Bon maintains unique teachings and ceremonies that reflect Tibet’s ancient worldview, aiming to preserve spiritual harmony and cultural identity.
