Opening the Door to Bon

Description

B n, the ancient pre-Buddhist religion of Tibet, is still practiced today with a rapidly growing number of readers interested in the shamanism and magic that are part of its complete path to liberation. Full of practical and explicit instructions, this handbook for Westerners details the outer and inner fundamental B n practices. This volume is part of a first wave of B n books that are finding an enthusiastic North American audience.

Geshe Nyima Dakpa Rinpoche is an experienced guide to this potent material. The founder of B n centers throughout the West with a main center in Los Angeles, he travels frequently in the United States to teach but is based in India.

"I strongly recommend this excellent guidebook to practitioners and for anyone else who would like a window into the view and practice of Bon. The practices of ngondro are very important, because they provide the firm, stable foundation one needs for engaging in any of the higher practices of the Bon tradition, including Dzogchen practice. Readers will benefit from the high level of clarity, depth and detail that Geshe Nyima Dakpa Rinpoche offers regarding all aspects of these wonderful and essential teachings." Tenzin Namgyal Rinpoche."
