Tibetan Bon religion is the indigenous spiritual tradition of Tibet rooted before the arrival of Buddhism in the 7th century AD and it was founded by Tonpa Shenrab Miwoche, whose name means “Supreme Holy Man”. He is considered by Bonpos to be a fully awakened Buddha who took physical form in order to teach others the true path to awakening. His biography bears some similarities to that Sakyamuni. Like Sakyamuni Buddha, Tonpa Shenrab began his teaching career after deciding to descend from a heavenly realm and take rebirth among humans in order to teach them a path to salvation.
