Introduction to Meditation in the Tradition of Yungdrung Bön – Presented by Ani Sherab Wangmo

The meditation in the Yundrung Bön Spiritual Tradition is the Path that we all need to tread to be able to control our mind and train it so that we can live with more peace, quiet and serenity.

In the beginning we do have to know the context in which these sacred practices are, so that we really know what we are doing and why. This very certainty allows us as practitioners to focus our attention on the goal and do not get distracted. It is an Ocean of Wisdom and we are beginning by touching the surface.

Ani Sherab Wangmo is a nun of the Yungdrung Bön Tradition, an authorized instructor of the Lineage, and a practitioner for 22 years. Her name means “the nun initiated in wisdom” and her monastic vows Getsukma were bestowed by His Holiness Lungtok Tenpai Nyima, Abbot of the Menri Monastery in India. She was in charge of the fundraising of the Bön Children and Monks of the two main monasteries. She made a pilgrimage to Zhang Zhung sacred sites in Tibet in 2005, especially Bon monasteries in the area that held the last capital of the Empire. One of the fruits of this pilgrimage was the collection of relics and sacred offerings for incorporation into the Bön Stupa of Torreon, the Bön Stupa for World Peace in Chammaling, Valle de Bravo and two Stupas in Dolpo.
