Teachings on the Causal Vehicles of Bön
Yungdrung Bön or Eternal Bön, is one of the oldest spiritual traditions in the world and the indigenous religion of Himalaya and Zhang Zhung. Its origins trace back very ancient roots from the teachings of Buddha Tönpa Shenrap Miwoche, the founder of Yungdrung Bön, about 18’000 years ago. Tonpa Shenrab bestowed countless teachings according to the multiple different capacities of all beings. All of these teachings can be recognized within the so called Nine Ways Of Bön which are categorized into two branches: The Causal Vehicles of Bön and the Bön of Fruition.
The Causal Vehicles of Bön address the student with teachings on healing, astrology, divination and rituals to benefit the deceaseds. These methods are divided into four branches: teachings on medicine, ways to maintain the harmony amongst different species, methods to protect the community and funeral rituals.

Meditation of the Six Lokas
Purifying the Obstacles to Enlightenment, Transformation through Body, Breath, and Mind
in Rome and on Zoom
In the Bön and Buddhist tradition it is said there are 6 Realms (Lokas): Hell Realm, Hungry Ghost Realm, Animal Realm, Human Realm, Demi-God Realm and God Realm. These meditations developed by masters of the past focus on the root causes (karmic seeds) of our suffering: anger, greed, ignorance, jealousy, pride, and laziness — the six destructive emotions which are the obstacles to the enlightenment. In each meditation we reflect upon our habitual patterns so that we may recognize them rather than be driven by them. We then invoke the enlightened energy of the Buddhas to purify and transform these patterns, giving rise to their antidotes of love, generosity, wisdom, openness, peacefulness, and compassion. We develop the sincere aspiration that we and all other beings cease to suffer in these ways. The practices of the Six Lokas have a deep healing and transformative power and are traditionally practiced as a preliminary to Dzogchen contemplation. The purpose of this practice is burning the karmic seeds of suffering.

Fivefold Teaching of Dawa Gyaltsen
at Eremo di Ronzano, Bologna (Italy)
with H.E. Menri Ponlop Trinley Nyima Rinpoche
Vision is mind.
Mind is empty.
Emptiness is clear light.
Clear light is union.
Union is great bliss.
This is the heart instruction of Dawa Gyaltsen, a Bön meditation master who lived in the eighth century in the Zhang Zhung area. He was the main teacher of Tapihritsa and at the end of his life achivied the rainbow body. This teaching is a direct introduction to the nature of mind and is not elaborate with ritual but a deep experience in meditation. The pith instructions of these masters—their heart advice to their students—are often only a few lines, but these few lines can guide the fortunate practitioner to recognizing his or her own true nature as a Buddha.
