Bon Teachers Outline Page - Added
An Outline Page highlighting the art and iconography of Bon Teachers has been added to the site along with updating of the Bon Teachers Main Page. Numerous gallery pages have been added along with additional cataloguing.
Many of the images of teachers, painting and sculpture, belong to much larger sets of images. The vast majority of images of Bon teachers are found depicted in sets of initiation and lineage cards (these sets have not yet been sorted).
The principal categories of Bon teachers depicted in art are those of the [1] Three Lineages of Dzogchen followed by the [2] Bon Monastic Lineage (typically with Nyamme Sherab Gyaltsen or Tritsug Gyalwa at the center), the [3] Magyu Lineage and [4] the Bon Refuge Field. These are the four principal subjects making up a large portion of teacher depictions. After these four there are various miscellaneous lineages of other deities and teaching lines.
