Радужное тело и Христос

7th September 2025

Эта статья основана на материале моего доклада на Шестой Международной Конференции по Изучению Бöна, прошедшей 7–8 февраля 2025 г. в Катманду, в бöнпо монастыре Тритэн Норбутсе, во время празднований в честь столетнего юбилея Йонгдзина Ринпоче. Тогда, в силу ограниченного времени мне пришлось сократить или обобщить некоторые положения, но здесь они включены в полном объеме вместе с дополнительным материалом, проясняющим вопросы, возникшие в процессе дискуссии, вызванной моей презентацией. Реорганизация материала и подготовка к публикации заняла несколько недель. Тем временем, 12 июня 2025 г. Йонгдзин Ринпоче ушел в Великое Блаженство в Непале, в Джарсинг Паува, и я посвящаю эту статью его незабвенной памяти.…

Lusang: do’s and don’ts

30th May 2025

Who are the Lu? Lu are water spirits or Water Owners, known as Naga in Sanskrit and Zhang Zhung. They don’t only live in water, and in fact there are many different classes of Lu inhabiting various worlds and elements. Since each of the five main elements is made of five sub-elements, each has a sub-element of water in which Lu reside. For example, if we take the fire element there is fire-fire, fire-earth, fire-wind, fire-space and fire-water, and some Lu reside in fire-water. The same is true for all the other elements. The full list of various kinds of…
