5.0 out of 5 stars The Nine Ways of Bon, May 15, 2005
A fascinating glimpse into the original pre-Buddhist religion of Tibet. It is a religion similar to Siberian Shamanism . Bon was said to have been brought to Tibet in ancient times from a land to its west. The text "The Nine Ways of Bon" however dates as being approximately 400 years old long after Buddhist missionaries first appeared in Tibet so we are uncertain how much of the original Bon ways were influenced by Buddhism when this text was originally written. Certainly Tibetan Buddhism was itself influenced by Bon. Bon did go through periods of persecution in Tibet by the Buddhists hundreds of years ago but now but Bonpos and Buddhist lamas often work together. There are still Bonpos praciticing in Tibet and through out the world today.
The Nine ways are as follows.
1.) THE WAY OF THE SHEN OF THE PREDICTION
2.) THE WAY OF THE SHEN OF VISUAL WORLD
3.) THE WAY OF THE SHEN OF ILLUSION
4.) THE WAY OF THE SHEN OF EXISTENCE
5.) THE WAY OF THE VIRTUOUS ADHERERS
6.) THE WAY OF THE GREAT ASCETICS
7.) THE WAY OF PURE SOUND
8.) THE WAY OF THE PRIMEVAL SHEN
9.) THE SUPREME WAY
The book "The Nine Ways of Bon" is incredibly fascinating and takes the reader into an entirely new way of looking at the world.
One of the "nine ways" the Primeval Shen" ranks as one of the world's great love poems.
Highly recommended to anyone with an interest in Tibet or mysticism.
