Brief History of Bon Religion.

[@mayankdewli1010]

I'm from Uttarakhand India and my village is very close to Tibet border. We used to follow "paun" religion which is very similar to bon religion and included various shamanistic rituals and local deities along with ancestor worship and other tantric methods of worship. However, when Shankaracharya came to the Himalayas a thousand years ago, he changed the doctrine such that the local deities were absorbed in what we call Hinduism today. However, non vedic local rituals are still very popular

[@Lost_inn_Time]

That's great to know ! Which all local deities which you know that belonged to the Paun/Bon religion are now considered a part of Hinduism ? How do Paun/Bon people treat animals ? Do you all learn having compassion for animals as in Buddhism ?

[@KunzangBrasiliaDf]

Thank you for your testimony

[@netashwadixit5948]

Do try to keep it going.

[@tenzinyuga]

A lot of the states in the northern parts of India have some Tibetan history associated with them as they border the Himalayas so it makes a lot of sense.

Beautiful video. I am Bön and I haven’t seen anything as detailed as your research made into a video yet. 🙏🏽 Tashi Delek! Thank you for sharing this most important history about our tradition

Thank you

[@sarojlama2212]

i'm tamang and i'm from nepal . and we too follow bon culture in our place alongside buddhism. but we take bon culture differently from buddhism. however i couldn't differentiate the bon and budhhism from the clips of your video though it was very informative. and according to your video, the bon culture followed in tibet looks very similar to buddhism which is not in our place. please make another video with further more detailed information. Thujeche :)

For my opinion, tapai haru le garnu hune Bon yo Bon vnda purano ho.. TonpA shenrab aunu vnda agadi ko, phela sabe tira bon thiyo paxi Tonpa Shenrab aaye paxi jun Bon banoni teslai Yungdrung Bon vanxa ni.. Yungdung BON Ma katmar bali parta hudena.. Ani aile ko tibetan Buddhism pni dere kura bon bata copy gareko x jaste janda, lungta, torma even monk dress...

Thank you for sharing your informative video, I was very interested to learn more about BON as a Buddhist practitioner, and with help of your video and other source material became aware of many similiarties In Tantric practice, ritual items, & dance Moverments between the two traditions, and i am aware that Guru Rinpoche incorporated much of BON into Tibetan buddhist Tantra and Dzogchen, I can see that there are difference but also many simalarities even the way the temples are laid out, the Thankas and the Monks robes are very similar between both traditions especially between Nyingma and Bon, I dont see this as a coincidence, Guru Rinpoche would not make mistakes, therfore he must have seen much good practices which were similar enough that he could incorporate then into Buddhist tantra which was unique to Tibet..likewise though over the next 1200 Hundred years i do wonder if BON has also relearned some of there potentially lost practices back from Tibetan tantra

What’s the status of animals in BON ? Does BON teach compassion towards animals ? Are most BONS vegetarians ? What are some notable thoughts for animal compassion in BON ? Did the founder Tonpa Shenrob teach animal compassion , please give the sources too. I wanted to know all this please help .

Does BON religion anywhere talk about Hindu gods like Shiva or Vishnu ? Also is there any connection between Tonpa Shenrob and Buddha ?

Why do BONs circle the Kailash in anti clockwise sense whereas Hindus Jains and Buddhists do the opposite ?

[@pariss1445]

In what direction do hurricanes spin on the northern hemisphere?

[@Lost_inn_Time]

@@pariss1445 how is that relevant here ?

[@pariss1445]

Bonpos spin in alignment with nature, that’s why it’s relevant. To answer my own question, hurricanes spin counter clockwise on the northern hemisphere.

[@Lost_inn_Time]

@@pariss1445 Did you get to know about this from a trained Bonpo ? As I think there should be a more clear reason to this .

[@jurmilotay6118]

@@Tenzing02 I agree about the physical ritualistic approach...but buddhist core values and view are held intact. Buddhism went to china adapted with Confucianism and Taoism, kept their core values intact too. Trungpa took it to USA and ran a hippie cult, but core values are kept intact. Thats why Pure monk like Suzuki roshi respected trungpa.

Because Buddhist of Mahayana is based on adaptability the merge Buddhists teaching along with local traditions so people can understand better.​@@Tenzing02

With all the differences let’s find some common ground , and common practice for the common man 😂😊 you are all born with the mark of the ancient Monpas , later also called the mongol mark , the blue birthmark all is you are born with and later dissolves , mongols being one of the inheritors,from the Tibetan plataue where my kaliash also called mt meru but originally called kora koram ( kora means to go around ) the whole mt range is called the korakorrum range, believed to be the center of the world with its peak somewhat allined to the four direction of the compass and from wher the four great rivers of Asian begins also has a salt lake and sweet water lake , signifying life and death The Tibetan platue was once just called ling/ Mon and the monpas the most ancient of the Asian dna comes from, so they say !!! Rest from Tibetans Chinese Koreans viets , all Asians looking ppl all the way to the people of South America are just their off spring. With the same dna markers and same blue mark on their backside 😂😊 And the ancient symbol also used by the mongol empire , the most ancient symbol( on the left, profile ) the sun, moon the trident on the blue background signifying the ocean and sky and the blue birthmark we are born with) Basically the Sun and moon with the three pointed flame and also diving falcon and also the trident 🔱 which is also a weapon but also symbolises the past present and future but unlike the Mongolian flag there is a six sided star or two diffrent triangles that makes up the star. The three points that make up tue first triangle signifies , father mother and child ( the base for family and by extension to base of society and the second triangle signifies knowledge will and action and the dot in the middle signifies the individual who is the center / beginning who has trained in knowledge and has the will to take action leading his society and civilisation forward And the individual practices to better himself by gaining knowledge does physical exercise to reach his/ her physical optimum And sits in meditation to better understand his / her knowledge and physical form and mediate into the beyond and the fourth which balances out the individual is to do service for his neighbours , while conducting his own private life be it in business ets but to keep in mind charity and extending help to the less fortunate So basically an individual who exercise , reads and does mediation and is also a helpful neighbour Who will one day marry and create a family based on knowledge will and action and the sun and moon signifies living in harmony with nature . So find your inner superman my mediating , studying and exercising and be a good neighbour ❤❤❤ Secret terma revealed ❤❤❤ Before meditation 🧘 do some exercise or yoga to get the blood flowing or prostrate 108 times Then take a hot shower followed by a cold 🥶 shower this will wake up your nervous system and fortify ur health Sit for meditation , start with a dedication prayer or mantra this will wake up your mind and sound vibrations also will help build memory and concentration Then sit in mediation , first you can use a butter lamp 🪔 look at the fire 🔥 with half closed eyes this will help from distractions and monkey mind also imagine the flame which you see at the middle of your eyebrows. Time to time close your eyes you will see the flame in side your mind . Try placing the flame at the tip of your pineal gland ( see picture of brain to locate pineal gland) Then take the syombol of the star And moon with the six pointed star and meditate on it focusing on the dot! This will also help center the mind and help stop monkey mind . Imagine the dot as a brilliant light in dot form , place that dot at the tip of the pineal gland, Remember bhuddism is rational science and as the bhuddha said “ behind every other is a reasoning” the pineal gland releases good chemicals that elevate your mood improve your health and remember the body is controlled by electrical pulse that begins in the 🧠 brain ( a though cause an electric ⚡️ pulse that sends orders to the nervous system which in turn controls the muscles 💪 This symbol will help remove inner , outer and secret obstacles and can be placed any where as a flag picture or sticker , but remember what it signifies , living in harmony with each other and nature by an awakened individual who exercise mediates and studies but also remember prayers without action is wishful thinking this a person should while being knowledgeable also follow with will and action to improve his surroundings Remember all rites , music and prayers cause a physical emotional and mental response and directly effect your body with chemical releash from the brain Rember the triple gem and follow ur life in the with fold path and you will find liberation without pursuing it , like finding a dollar note on the road by luving in the 8 fold path and exercising studying mediating and doing seva / service ( being a good neighbour) liberation is spontaneously achieved breaking the bonds of karma and the cycle of birth and rebirth Guru
