[ebook] Namkha (epub,mobi)

The Namkha is a particular object, consisting of a cross covered in colored thread, which was widely used in the ancient Tibetan Bön tradition as attested in many ritual texts. Namkha means Space and it represents the basis or origin of all the elements, and the indispensable support for their various energies. In ancient times in the Kingdom of Shang Shung and in Tibet many Bönpos who were well-versed in the knowledge of the condition of energy used various methods and objects, such as Namkhas, to harmonize the energies of the elements. However, the knowledge of how to harmonize an individual’s energies relating to the five elements through the Namkha appears to have been lost in the course of time. Although no traditional text that explains the principle and practical application of this harmonization exists, in this book the Dzogchen master Chögyal Namkhai Norbu (1938-2018) describes in detail this extremely important method for harmonizing the conflicts between the elements that may occur during one’s lifetime and for increasing and expanding all positive and favorable circumstances.
