Today, the 30th day of the 9th Hortsi lunar month (10th month according to Zhang Zhung system) is the anniversary of passing into nirvana of Buddha Tönpa Shenrab Miwo. One can recite Tsewang Mönlam, remain in the contemplation of Natural State, perform Tsogchö or any other practice one is familiar with.

Good news! The complete Yungdrung Bön Kangyur has arrived in Russia! This is no small achievement. The Yungdrung Bön (Eternal Teaching) Research Centre of Tibetan Religion and Culture in Russia «Исследовательский центр Юнгдрунг Бон (Вечное учение)» asked FPYB for help in obtaining a set of the Yungdrung Bön Kangyur in Uchen in western book-style deb-form rather than the traditional Tibetan pecha. It’s taken months of complicated negotiations, but we’re delighted the books are safely with the Research Centre in Russia now. May the Teachings spread to alleviate the sufferings of all sentient beings! Thanks to our friend Khenpo Kalsang Norbu Read more

Today is the anniversary of when Mucho Demdrug (Tib. Mu-cho ldem-drug), one of the seven sons of Buddha Tönpa Shenrab Miwoche, turned the Wheel of Bön. When Tönpa Shenrab passed into nyangen ledepa (Tib. mya-ngan las-‘das-pa – parinirvana) in 7817 BC, Mucho Demdrug became Tönpa Shenrab’s Regent (Tib. gdung-sob). He descended on Earth from the realm of Cha (Tib. phywa) when the period of the Teachings of Body (Tib. sku-yi bstan-pa) was completed in 6016 BC and took charge of the Yungdrung Bön doctrines and their propagation in the new 10,000-year cycle of the Teachings of Speech (Tib. gsungs-gi bstan-pa).
