Paperback. The black background symbolizes the Ultimate Nature of Phenomena (bon nyid) which cannot be defined in any way whatsoever. The Wisdom Khyung (Garuda) at the top symbolizes the Body of Perfect Enjoyment (longs pyod rd=ogs ps" I sku). The body of Manifold Multipurpose Emanation (cir yang sprul pa"i sku) in the rainbow circle is Tonpa Shenrab Miwoche, the Buddha of Yungdrung Bon who manifested on this earth in 16-017 B.C. according to traditional Bonpo sources, and taught beings countless ways which lead out of samsara. The silhouette of the bird of five colours swooping down symbolizes the five lights which manifest out of the Primordial Nature and turn into the five elements which further develop into the vision of phenomenal universe. The tongues of flame just above the bird's silhouette symbolized the spiritual knowledge and transmission of Be Murgel brought to earth from the realm of the Tengeri Sky-gods by the White- headed Eagle. And underline the vital importance of the fire element in the offering rituals of Be Murgel and Domai Bon. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
