The complete Yungdrung Bön Kangyur has arrived in Russia!

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.

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).…
