  • wtf 

  • @ buddhafollower: Actually, the religion is called "Bon" (with an umlaut over the O). Bon-po refers to people who practice that religion. And what we're seeing here is not necessarily Bon ritual; these kinds of shamanic practices are closely akin to those found in Siberia and throughout the Himalaya. They predate Bon religion, but were to some degree absorbed by it--just as many aspects of Bon were assimilated and absorbed by Vajrayana Buddhism.

  • Is this on Tibet? Which monastery is this?

    How to find this guy ?

    I thought it was forbidden on Tibet...is this in Nepal maybe?

  • I would expect steam at least...

  • His religion is called Bonpo.

  • Very, very interesting!

    Thank you for posting!

    Amituofo!
