Ligmincha Austria
The main aim of Ligmincha Austria is the preservation and spreading of the teachings of Bon Buddhism. Bon is the name of the pre-Buddhist religious culture of Tibet and is one of the world’s most ancient spiritual traditions. It is a living tradition with an uninterrupted lineage of practitioners going back thousands of years and was founded by Buddha Tonpa Shenrap Miwo. The teachings have been transmitted orally from realized master to student and have been recorded in hundreds of volumes of scriptures and commentaries. Bön is divided into nine ways and includes Sutra, Tantra and Dzogchen. Since 1988 Bon has been officially recognized by H.H. the Dalai Lama as the 5th Tibetan spiritual school.
In order to make the profound knowledge of this Bon-Buddhist tradition accessible to as many people as possible, Ligmincha Austria offers joint practice opportunities and organizes events and seminars. In 1991 Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche came to Austria for the first time to give teachings.
