A crash course in changing the world.
For these reasons the preservation of Bon is at once urgent and imperative. Bon is at a crossroads in its history where it is under threat of being lost to the world forever. During the Chinese Cultural Revolution countless Bon monasteries, religious texts, ritual items and artwork were destroyed and many teachers and monks driven into exile. Only in recent decades has Bon established a foothold in the West, through the great hardship and dedicated efforts of a few Tibetan Bon teachers and the generous support of Western advocates. However, more work is clearly needed to safeguard this precious heritage for the benefit of current and future generations."
