About the Festival: A Message from Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche

“I have organized this online film festival to highlight some exceptional documentaries that shed light on the richness of the ancient Tibetan Bön tradition. Many Westerners have never heard of Bön, and many Tibetans – even some high lamas – still harbor misconceptions about it. Bön is the indigenous spiritual tradition of Tibet. It has its roots in the teachings of the buddha Tonpa Shenrap in central Asia some 17,000 years ago, and from those beginnings until modern times, its teachings and practices have been passed from master to student in an unbroken lineage. Bön shares much in common with Tibetan Buddhism, including its teachings of sutra, tantra and dzogchen. At the same time it has its own, unique flavor and profound wisdom teachings. Today, Bön remains vibrant and relevant to students around the world. As the source of Tibetan civilization, it is a treasure. Preserving it is our collective responsibility.”
– Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
