1. deep views of the Secret Mantra: through examples, meanings and symbols the liberation from grasping to samsara and nirvana, and how one should become aware of the manifestation way — that all the manifestations of rol pa are the spontaneous uninterruptedly appearing natural state, i.e. unborn, free from deliberations great nature of selfness bdag nyid chen mo.
2. behavior. On how to adhere to Great Behavior. The meaning of the Great secret mantra: Secret Behavior, Yogic Behavior, Victorious Impartial Behaviour through the union of Method and Wisdom.
3. meditation: first, grasping of the mind, then having grasped it — holding-abiding, then abiding when the nature of the mind manifests clearly.

Based on these stages, then studying the following:
1. meditation with characteristics or visualization, and in it: meditation on the text and performing ritual actions, the way to perform sadhana practice and mantra recitation. Also, meditating on the place and path, relying on one’s body as a method or relying on the body of the other as wisdom, through any of these means the method of practicing Great Bliss and Emptiness.
2. meditation without characteristics: based on the concentration on the meaning of the natural condition, on resting the mind in it without distractions, an on avoiding grasping the extremes, which don’t correspond to the meaning of meditation, meditation on the single sublime tigle of the mind as such, and the permanent meditation without creating anything, and the way to dispel the dangerous darkness of the clinging to duality.
3. meditating on the real nature as such: grasping or subjugating the mind with the stage of development and the concentration of the mind with the stage of completion.

In Dzogchen the liberation from the recognition of outer objects using confidence, absence of attachment to the mind inside and absence of joy regarding secret experience, absence of attachment to the experience of Bliss, experience of clarity and non-conceptual experience. Briefly, learning the application of these practices, studying the errors in conceiving and other meditation faults, and how to correct them.
4. the commitments. Five root general commitments to support and 100.000 higher commitments of the Samaya, i.e. the need for accepting and rejecting and so on. Also, the supreme primordial commitment, i.e. the commitment that doesn’t need holding.
5 the stage of deeper actions. Having the foundation in the benefit for oneself, benefit for others, benefit for both oneself and others, first: the meaning of the Words — actions of the sadhanas, i.e. method of accomplishing five bodies, five actions and 5 types of primordial wisdom through the practice of recitation of peaceful and wrathful yidam mantras. Secondly, on the basis of the nine stages of the Vehicle of beings, nine different accomplishing activities, i.e. method, showing that one must pacify different types of students. Third, through reciting mantras, practicing yidam and deities and performing completion actions, attaining the state of Vidyadhara, realizing both common and supreme siddhis.
6. on introducing the deeper higher Vidyadhara Path of Liberation: outer initiation with the power to avert attachment to truthfulness, inner initiation, liberating from clinging to skandha characteristics, secret initiation, bringing to the shine of impeccable primordial wisdom in the mindflow, another secret initiation, which leads to the self-liberation emerging in the flow of the mind. Thus, by receiving 4 initiations, one gradually completes the lands of the 8 Vidyadhara paths of liberation, a clear way to attain 3 bodies.
7. 2 aspects of the deep result. Common result, i.e. 5 aspects: life, health, material wealth, blessings and magic. Supreme result, i.e. five clear aspects: view, meditation, behavior, commitments and actions. Through the 4 types of actions, 5 deities, 5 bodies, 5 families, 5 powers, 5 types of primordial wisdom and 5 eyes of primordial wisdom, bringing benefit to sentient beings etc.

The history of Déden Samten Ling, is important to the preservation of the Bön tradition.
The library played an important role in the preservation of the Bön tradition.
The main temple was established over 900 years ago by Yangton Gyalshen Rinchen in a remote and mountainous region of Dolpo, Nepal near the Tibetan border. Traditionally, this monastery, as well as others in Dolpo, has been maintained by a lineage of the Yangton family (see link below)

Guru Gem Monastery - Mt. Kialash.jpg (33.24 KiB) Viewed 4915 times

From Tibet Kailash, sacred valleys, "About 9 km below Tirathapuri, at the confluence of the Sutlej and Chornak rivers, lies the remainder of a monastery, several chötens and a water mill. Nearby there is many destroyed building columns. The monastery of Guru Gem lies on the right bank of the river Sutlej and consists of shallow caves in a rock massif and a monastery at its bottom. It had a red and white façade and is easy to recognize.

The monastery was founded by Lama Kyungtrul Jigme Namkha'i Dorje (khyung sprul 'jigs med nam mkha'i rdo rje): 1897-1956.

This lama was a descendant of a wealthy family. After training in the monastery of Bönpo Kharna, he went to pilgrimages in Bhutan, Nepal and Kinnaur and other places in 1917.

The lama came back in 1930 and settled under the shelter of the rock. Soon he became very famous and built a monastery on a vast plain as a mountain refuge. Thus the place became known as Guru Gem.

In 1934 the monastery was almost completed and finished up a little later. The guru gem center has become an important center for Bönpos and Buddhists. At the time of its demise, there were 60 monks and nuns living there."

Chörten Tang Tashi Dargye Ling is nowadays, a Geluk monastery in Amdo.

It was originally a Bön monastery with the name of Chörten Tang that was founded in 820 and then converted to Kagyu in 1360.
In 1647, the 4th Tongkhor, Dogyu Gyatso, converted the site to Geluk, and built the current monastery. The Assembly Hall, Shakyamuni and Kalachakra Temples have been restored recently, and a tall tower was also added to the complex. Tibetans and Tu (Monguor) have traditionally supported and worshiped at the Tashi Dargye Ling.

Yungdrung Droduling Monastery and the Connected School


Yungdrung Droduling is a traditional Bön monastery where novices are educated. At the same time it offers Tibetan language courses complementary to the government curriculum at the local school. Geshe Nyima Wozer additionally built up a hostel for orphans and other poor kids from the wider region.

The Yungdrung Droduling Gompa in Hurikot is important in the Bön tradition of the region. In the valley to the north a village called Jagdul, a monastery and several meditation caves used to exist. Climate changes then however caused major landslides that blocked a direct trail to Samling and forced the inhabitants to move down to what is today known as Hurikot. This village is now an important trade center for the caravans from the north where salt, tea and wool are bartered for corn and grains.

Around 30 years ago the local community called a monk Geshe Nyima Wozer to the village to conduct rituals and ceremonies for the villagers. With great support from the community he built a small building with a small chapel where he could stay and serve the villagers. Then, with great enthusiasm, he initiated the plan for a new building, a community monastery close to the village.

In 1996 when the anthropologist Marietta Kind lived in Dolpo during her research, she and her husband, the architect Urs Furger helped Geshe Nyima Wozer to design his plans for the monastery on paper. Since then, the monk with his unwary commitment found further sponsors (apart from us) for his project and in 1999 achieved the building of the main premises with a mud roof. In summer 2000, with our support, the roof was extended with a skylight and covered with a corrugated iron sheet and wooden floors were added to the building.

Artists from Humla made the new Buddha statue of the founder of Bön religion, Tompa Sherab Mibo, in traditional style from clay as well as other statues and wood carvings, decorations and wallpaintings. The main wallpaintings were drawn by Bönkyap from Parlä (nap. Baigybara) in Dolpo, who is by now the most renowned Bön thanka painter in Nepal. The artwork at the monastery is of the most exquisite quality. Apart from us other organisations have supported the monastery with substantial donations, the main ones are: Friends of Dolpa, American Himalayan Foundation, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche and the Ligmincha Institute, Deutsche Dolpohilfe.

In the meantime the monastery is not only a religious centre but in addition also enables complementary education in Tibetan language and local culture at the local government school. Below the monastery a small hostel has been built to host orphans and other children from difficult backgrounds, who join Tibetan and government school. A few are also introduced as novices at the monastery. Both the monastery and the Tibetan school are supported with a yearly amount by our NGO.

Bön brgya Monastery:



1. Name
The formal name of the monastery is Bön brgya sMan ri bshad sgrub smin grol gling.

2. Location
It is located in the upper reaches of Bön brgya valley in Chu khog district (xiang) of Reb gong, about 30 km southwest of Rong bo, the capital of rMa lho Prefecture.

3. History
There are no reliable written records concerning the origins of the Bön religion in the Reb gong area, but according to oral tradition, one of the “6 great universal scholars” (’Dzam gling rgyan drug), Phrom gSer thog lce ’byams, a Bönpo from Phrom, spread Bön in his homeland, at a time corresponding to the earlier spread of Bön.

During Khri srong lde btshan’s time, Dran pa nam mkha’ lived in Reb gong and built a large monastery at A ba ngos bzang. During the time of King U dum btsan, because of the persecution of Bön, the 3 grub thob, (“perfected beings”)--all 3 brothers of the Khyung lineage-- fled from Central Tibet to Reb gong. They first stopped to rest at Chad lung thang, a short distance from the present site of Bön brgya Monastery.

Later the 3 brothers established their residences in 3 villages in Reb gong
–’Khor lo bsgyur rgyal in sPyi sting village
- Ye shes mtsho rgyal in Ngo mo village
- Khyung dkar tshang ba in Khyung bo village-- and began to propagate Bön in the region.

Their descendents and spiritual heirs are still living in Reb gong (Bön brgya’i gsung, p.5). Around the same time, a Bönpo called dByings klong rin chen from sTong che in Khri ka arrived in Reb gong and married sTag ga’i rGyal mo byams. Their descendants became the Bön brgya village that established itself in Bön brgya village in the valley of the same name.

Several members of the village founded a hermitage at the site of the present monastery and formed the first religious community of Bön brgya Monastery. Other members eventually became nomads.

Originally Bön brgya village comprised only 20 families but at present, there are more than 700 families, including the nomad families (Bon brgya’i gsung, p.6) which altogether constitute the local lay community of the monastery. Although the monastery has a long history and is renowned for its many remarkable Tantric practitioners and monks, its development as a monastic institution is fairly recent and probably does not go far back beyond the time of Bön brgya gYung drung phun tshogs who lived at the beginning of the 20th century and who built the Dön gnyis lhun grub lha khang with statues of the 3 Buddhas of the 3 Ages, rNam par rgyal ba, the 1000 Buddhas and a stupa (mchod rten) dedicated to rNam par rgyal ba outside.

Just as the statues and the stupa were being completed, Shar rdza bKra shis rgyal mtshan sent a letter to the monastery along with 200 types of sacred objects (rten) with which to fill the statues and then visited the monastery in person. This event created a sensation among the local community and marked the history of the monastery.

Bön brgya gYung drung phun tshogs not only became a student of Khri rgan ’Jam dbyangs thub bstan rgya mtsho who was the teacher of the 6th Shang tshang (the religious and political head of Reb gong at the time) but also became close to the 6th Shang tshang himself.
As a result, Bön brgya Monastery enjoyed a period of prosperity and development. Later, however, the monastery was damaged twice by the army of Ma Bufang, the warlord of Qinghai (Ma Bufang tongzhi Qinghai sishi nian).

In 1944, sKyang sprul Lung rtogs skal bzang rgya mtsho, a great master of mDzod dge, remained at the monastery for a year during which he visited many monasteries and gsas khang temples in the Kokonor area, giving teachings not only to the monks at the monastery but to all the Bönpo communities throughout the whole of Reb gong.

Most monasteries and gsas khang in the Kokonor area paid hommage to him. During his visit to Reb gong in 1980, the 10th Panchen Lama proposed to rebuild Bön brgya Monastery and offered the monastery a statue of Amitabha together with 1800 Chinese Yuan for its reconstruction. Official permission was granted by the local government the following year; the first buildings to be reconstructed were the Don gnyis lhun grub lha khang and the residence of Bön brgya Trulku.
In recent years, Bön brgya Trulku established a philosophical school (bshad grwa) and a meditation school (sgrub grwa) where the lo gsum (3-year retreat) is practised. The main assembly hall is large and has 12 columns.

4. Hierarchical system
The holder of the “gold throne” (gser khri) is Bön brgya dGe legs lhun grub rgya mtsho, often called Bön brgya Trulku, the reincarnation of Bön brgya gYung drung phun tshogs. He is also the chief teacher (slob dpon) of the monastery.

The abbot (mkhan po), selected for 3 years. The present mkhan po is Tshul khrims nam mkha’ bstan ’dzin who is the reincarnation of sKyang sprul Lung rtogs skal bzang rgya mtsho.
1 khri pa, the “leader”, also selected for 3 years. The present khri pa is Tshul khrims blo gros.
dge skos, the disciplinarian
2 dbu mdzad, the incantation masters
2 gnyer pa, the treasurers
2 dkor gnyer, the care takers, all of whom are also replaced every 3 years.

5. Current number of monks
There are about 80 monks and novices in the monastery and an additional 30 who come from other monasteries to receive teachings from Bön brgya Trulku.

6. Current education
Monks attending the philosophical school study the following subjects:
- metaphysics such as bsdus grwa, blo rtags
-phar phyin
-grammar
-poetry
-painting
-astrology
- medicine
- calligraphy.

Those who have successfully completed the programme may compete for the dge shes degree. Students at the tantric school are required to complete the 3 year practice (lo gsum); several among them have completed the practice twice or even 3 times.

8 / 9. Rituals
- 1st month, 3rd - 11th day: the sMon lam chen mo, including a 4 -day rituals of the Klong rgyas mandala, the dBal gsas cycle on the morning of the 7th day, the chanting of the bKa’ skyong gdangs yig in the afternoon of the same day, the cycle of the Rig ’dzin bon skor on the 10th day; debates are held in between the rituals.

4th month, 20th - 23th day: the ritual of the rTsa gsum cho ga bzhi sbrags

13th day of the 6th month to 1st day of the 8th month: the gbyar gnas observation

9th month, 15th - 23th day: the cycle of dBal gsas sgrub chen with the ’cham performance on the 22nd day, the monastery’s officials are reelected at end of the ritual if their terms came to an end.

12th month, 24th - 29th day: the performance of gTor bzlog chen mo based on the bsTan pa’i lcags ri yi dam stag la’i srung zlog tshad ldan gyi sgrub pa
Besides the major rituals performed collectively by the Reb gong bon mang, there are various monthly rituals performed by the monastery separately: the Klong rgyas mchod pa on the 8th day, the Tshe dbang bod yul ma on the 10th day, the mDo chog cho ga bcu gnyis on the 15th day, the Kun rig gnas ’dren rgyas pa on the 25th day, and 8-day for the offering of the tshogs to the goddess Srid pa rgyal mo during the summer.

The daily practice:
1 hour is devoted to prayer (tshogs ’don)
2 hours to lessons, 1 hour to debate
1 hour to recitation of texts.
The rest of the day the monks study alone. Sunday is their day off.

10. Books held in the monastery
There are 3 copies of the Bönpo Kanjur
more than a 1000 volumes of various Bönpo works
1 copy of the Buddhist Kanjur and Tenjur
1 copy of Shar tshang sKal ldan rgya mtsho’s complete works
1 copy of ’Jam dbyangs bzhed pa’s works

11. Income and expenses
In addition to general offerings made by the lay community, the monastery posesses 100 female yak (’bri), as shi med and a truck, and has a total yearly income of around 20.000 Yuan. The monastery also has a live-in wood-block engravor and a sculptor.

12. Local community
Since all the Bönpo villages in Reb gong belong to their own village temple and to Bön brgya Monastery at the same time, information concerning this question is dealt with in the detailed descriptions of the gsas khang. According to my estimate in 1996 during my fieldwork for the Japanese research project on Bon, there are forty-six major villages divided into numerous branches comprising six hundred and ninety-one families (about 4368 people) in Reb gong, in addition to 700 nomad families (around 4000 people) in the Bön brgya pasturelands.

13 / 14.
These sections are dealt with when giving accounts of the individual temples.
