Course—Treasures of Bön

COURSE

Treasures of Bön: History, Lineage & Practice

with Geshe Denma Gyaltsen and John Jackson

Bön counts itself among the oldest spiritual traditions in the world. With origins steeped in an oral, shamanic tradition and yet deeply rooted in teachings of the buddha Tonpa Shenrap, the buddha who preceded Shakyamuni Buddha. This course is designed for anyone who would like to learn more about, or deepen their existing knowledge of, the ancient, profound tradition of Tibetan Bön Buddhism.

Geshe Denma Gyaltsen, resident lama for Ligmincha Texas, and John Jackson, mentor for many Ligmincha Learning courses and international teacher, enter into deep conversations around essential masters and teachings of the Bön tradition. The conversation is followed by a guided meditation led by either Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche or Geshe Denma.

The course is divided into five parts:

• History and Lineage
• The Causal Vehicle
• The Path of Sutra
• The Path of Tantra
• The Path of Dzogchen

John Jackson will be the mentor for this course.
