The practice of Namgyal Yangdrub was taught by Buddha Tonpa Shenrab to its students to acquire a long life, good health and prosperity. Filled with pieces of precious materials, as well as sacred ground of holy places, the vase is blessed by the ritual of Namgyal Yangdrub. Once the vase is consecrated, it must be kept in a clean and healthy place. The Yangbum creates a positive atmosphere and promotes good health, material wealth, spiritual well-being and success in our projects.

Outstanding Lecture on Breath Yoga (Tsa-lung)

The first of the six methods of the “Tantra Mother” of Tibetan Bön Buddhism is called “the Path of the Method”. This path contains the teachings of the elements, winds, spheres and canals of the body. This teaching will focus on the general framework of the Mother Tantra, which allows the passage from coarse bodies to subtle bodies. The practices of the five elements, the “Tsa Lung”, find their foundation in this part of the Tantra Mother.
