Writings by Hrukjan.
A fantastic work regarding Bon “Great Completion” meditation, although, not recommended for someone who is new to Eastern religion. Many elements of the Bon religion predate Buddhism in Tibet.

If you already have a basic understanding of Eastern philosophy, this book will be a great addition to the shelf for those looking to delve deeper into (Tibetan) Buddhism.

Hailaz Walpurgisnacht! However you choose to celebrate the next couple days, do it with your full attention. Meditate on life in its myriad forms. Banish any fetters holding you down in the damp halls of Hel. Personally, we will be preparing a part of the homestead for the return of our patron deity of peace,... Continue Reading →
We should always have unshakable convictions, laws, and morals. However, we shouldn’t place ourselves willingly into any particular ideological box. These terms, theories and identities are too minute, small, and insufficient to attach ourselves too without limiting our growth and development. The Sanskrit term “Madhyamāpratipada” describes this phenomenon, meditation, or act of non-polarization in the practitioner,... Continue Reading →
“More than those who hate you, more than all your enemies, an undisciplined mind does greater harm.” -Dhammapada Make your weaknesses your greatest enemies and one by one eradicate them from existence.
