The Khyung Mar Tantra presents one of the profound healing practices of the Tibetan Yungdrung Bön tradition. As part of the Father Transmission of Bön Secret Recitation teachings, the practice focuses on the Generation Stage of tantric practice—visualizing oneself as the Red Garuda, visualizing the invited Red Garuda deity, and sending the lights and energy of wisdom and compassion to all in need.

While this practice is one of the primary healing practices in Bön for any condition, it is especially meant for healing sickness and other harm caused by the lu, spirits of the water. As the central practice of an enlightened yidam deity, it not only provides physical and emotional healing, but guides practitioners toward the non-dual state of unification with the deity’s enlightened mind, creating a clear path of inner awakening. This book is dense with practical insights and esoteric wisdom that will be of benefit to any practitioner. It not only includes the Tibetan text and detailed commentary, but also a full series of illustrations detailing the main practice.

Latri Khenpo Nyima Dakpa Rinpoche is a current Master of the Bön tradition. His books include Opening the Door to Bön, which helped introduce the Bön Ngöndro teachings in the West, as well as The Inner Mirror, a commentary on the Fifteen-Session A-tri Dzogchen.
