Secrets of the Bon teachings. Secrets of the most ancient teachings

Today, few people imagine with what formidable and terrible force Schemamonk Alexander Peresvet, blessed for battle by the Venerable himself, had to fight on the Kulikovo Field. Sergius of Radonezh.

Mamai’s beloved hero, the Pecheneg Chelubey, or Temir-Murza, was not just a skilled warrior. He was... an adherent of a mystical cult, which is called differently in different sources - “bon-po”, “bon(g)-po”, sometimes even “bon(h)-po”. Chelubey passed through this religion to the highest degree of dedication. It was believed that he possessed those mystical abilities that today are only artificially, at the level of tricks, reproduced in films about martial arts: he could deliver energy blows from a distance; possessed teleportation - he was able to disappear in one place and instantly appear in another; miraculously flew through the air... It was these skills that allowed him to win an unprecedented number of victories - in about three hundred fights!

This is how it is described in one of the chronicle documents: “He was like the ancient Goliath: his height was five fathoms, and his width was three fathoms.”

It was then that Schemamonk Alexander Peresvet rode out, who at the cost of his life stopped this hitherto invincible warrior: “And they hit hard with their spears, almost the ground broke under them. And they both fell from their horses to the ground and died.” And everyone exclaimed unanimously: “God is with us!” (“The Tale of the Massacre of Mamaev”).

It is interesting that, as the rector of the Church of the Nativity said in a conversation with one journalist Holy Mother of God in old Simonovo (where the relics of the venerable martyrs Alexander Peresvet and Andrei Oslyabi now rest), Archpriest Vladimir Silovyov, adherents of the Bon(g)-po teaching came to Russia specifically to find out why their “great predecessor Chelubey” lost the famous fight . In particular, they visited the Trinity-Sergius Lavra, trying to understand how the crosses of the monastic schema and prayers to the “Russian God” deprived Chelubey of his magical abilities, which he was never able to demonstrate in the duel...

However, one should not think that everything was so simple. There is reason to believe that St. Sergius, who was distinguished, among other spiritual virtues, by the gift of foresight (it is known, for example, that, being in his Lavra, hundreds of kilometers from the Kulikovo field, from the moment the battle began, he quickly gathered the brethren of the monastery for a memorial service, and at a time when our ancestors fought in this historical battle, the saint, literally, seeing the souls of the soldiers flying off to Heaven, listed their names out loud - so that the monks would immediately pray for their repose!), - so, St. Sergius, apparently, was not at all sure of the outcome of the first duel with Chelubey: and that is why he sent not one, but TWO schema warriors, so that, in case of possible failure, a second monk would go to fight with Chelubey. Chelubey possessed such serious dark power! It’s no coincidence, because he had previously won almost 300 (!) fights!

The oldest religion on the planet

Today, from one modern source to another, the erroneous opinion is borrowed that “Bon(g)-po” is supposedly one of the sects of Buddhism. In fact, this is not true. The Bon religion, according to some researchers, is one of the most ancient (if not the most ancient) on Earth, and it originated long before Buddhism. She is about... 18 thousand years old! She came to Tibet from Central Asia or Iran. Regarding the name of this religion, clarification is possible - "bonpo"(one translation option is “reversed bond”).

The Bon cult itself is quite dark and mysterious. Little is known about him. But even people like the Roerichs and Blavatsky, who have, to put it mildly, a very difficult relationship with Orthodoxy, admit their disgust for it, calling it in their works and letters “black faith” and noting the “lowest type of shamanism” practiced in it, "crude necromancy and tantrism", "witchcraft" and "black magic".

According to the authors of an article posted on this site: “The Bon religion is often wrong (I wonder why it’s wrong? – ed.) described as a combination of shamanistic beliefs, fetishism and demonology." However, at the same time, they themselves immediately confirm: “The Bon priest was a magician and necromancer, whose practice included the singing of magic spells. He performed dances incomprehensible to the uninitiated and fearlessly entered into battles with invisible demons surrounding him...

Bon priests did not take a vow of celibacy, and yet they were often reclusive, wore a hairstyle of matted, uncut hair, and lived in all alone deep in the jungle or high in the mountains...

The range of functions of a Bon clergyman was extremely wide: he acted as both a magician and a necromancer, a shaman and a wizard. He fell into the power of the gods, and through him the deities manifested themselves in this world (what kind of “gods” and “deities” these are, I think, is not difficult to understand - ed)…»

Another passage is very interesting: “The sacrificial prayer used in the late Vajrayana and possibly of Bon origin, well conveys the spirit of the Bon religion itself: “Oh, you all spirits, demons, werewolves, ghosts, evil entities, spirits of madness and epilepsy , male and female heavenly patrons, as well as all others, accept this sacrifice and may there be an agreement between us, and may grace and protection flow from this agreement.”

The ritual of sacrifice was accompanied by a stern warning to the commoners: “If you dare to break the agreement, you will be cut up and thrown away, like these sacrificed animals! Therefore, be united in your thoughts and devoted to the gods of heaven and earth, so that they can see your pure thoughts!”

Further even more interesting: “Bon priests used the swastika sign (in Tibetan yun-drung) as a magical weapon of the greatest power. The word is also used as a title for the founder of a religion. Swastika (Sanskrit “emblem of happiness”), the appearance of which is shrouded in mystery.

Now it’s very important: speaking about the swastika in different religious traditions, one feature should be noted: in the Bon tradition it “rotates” from left to right, that is, it is right-handed, in contrast to the left-handed swastika of Buddhism, which symbolizes the process of “rotation” from right to left. This detail is explained characteristic feature bon: do many things in reverse order (walk around stupas on the left side, rotate prayer wheels in reverse side and pronounce the mantras in reverse...)"

The last detail is very characteristic, in general, of all demonic, dark forces. Satanists have also always performed rituals perverted in a similar way: with inverted crosses, reading reverse prayers, and performing “sacred rites” that are opposite in meaning.

In connection with the above quote, it is also appropriate to remember something else: the emblem of Nazi Germany was precisely... right-hand swastika! Do you see what details are starting to appear and connect in strange ways?! In addition, it is known that during the capture of Berlin and the Reichstag itself soviet soldiers discovered about 1000 strange corpses in military uniform without insignia with facial features characteristic of Tibet. For a long time it was believed that these were envoys of the Dalai Lama, with whom the famous SS expeditions led by Ernst Schaeffer were in contact and with whom the leadership of the Third Reich even established radio communications. However, now, with a high degree of confidence, we can assume that these were not Buddhists, but just adherents of the Bon religion - the same spiritual heirs of Chelubey, who most likely had images on his shield and ammunition... right-handed ( "Bon" or Nazi) swastika!

If the assumption is true, then how intertwined everything is in our history! The descendants of Peresvet and Chelubey, many centuries later, thousands of kilometers from the Kulikovo Field, again came together in a bloody and very important spiritual duel - not for life, but for death...

Bon cult and Buddhism: friends or enemies?

It must be admitted that Buddhism is a rather peaceful religion. Despite the world-famous phenomenon of the Shaolin Monastery: Buddhist monks there hone their martial arts not for banal massacres - they consider the highest perfection not to win a battle, but to bring the situation to such a development when the very need for a fight disappears. At the same time, however, the monk must remain prepared for it better than a possible opponent - both spiritually and physically. It is no coincidence that aggressive “Bon” and peace-loving Buddhism throughout their coexistence in Tibet were never, to put it mildly, friendly to each other... No matter how some authors of our days try to present it.

The latter is refuted by the same Yu.N. Roerich, the son of N.K. Roerich and a famous Soviet orientalist, who in one of his works “On the Paths of Central Asia” directly wrote that “a night spent in the Bon-po monastery can bring misfortune,” and the almost Negroid-looking mentor of the monastery “Bon” once directly asked him with undisguised surprise how you, who study the doctrines of Buddhism, can be interested in them, the “Bon” scriptures, adding that these two doctrines cannot go together, since one excludes the other. Further, Yu.N. Roerich in his work clarifies that, for example, the Lamaist Mongols have great antipathy towards the Bon-po faith, which is known to them under the name Khara-nom, “Black Faith” (Chapter XVI).

"Bon" and the leadership of the Third Reich

The fact that the leadership of Nazi Germany knew in great detail about the Bon religion from Ernst Schaeffer can hardly be doubted.

The latter showed simply remarkable abilities as a researcher and traveler. He and his team accomplished the unthinkable - they became one of the first Europeans to penetrate (more than once) into Tibet, which was closed to foreigners.

Suffice it to remember that the same Roerich, who also moved from China and at approximately the same times, was never able to do this. His expedition, waiting for permission to visit Lhasa, almost died from hunger and cold on a plateau in the foothills of Tibet - but it never came!

Knowing the abilities and activity of Ernst Schaeffer (who received the task from Reichsführer SS Himmler himself to explore Tibet as fully as possible), it is not difficult to assume that he undoubtedly became very interested in the spiritual practice of a religion unknown to him, which is still practiced today, according to some sources, by up to two-thirds Tibetans. In documentary newsreels captured by Schaeffer, one can see a shaman-like man performing a certain ritual with bulging, exalted eyes, who bears little resemblance to a Buddhist lama, but is very similar, according to verbal descriptions, to a priest of the Bon cult.

When we stood in front of this picture, one of the abbots of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra told us the following story. There is a monk in the monastery who, in his youth, like many then, was fascinated by Eastern spiritual traditions and martial arts. When perestroika began, he and his friends decided to go to Tibet to enter some Buddhist monastery. Since 1984, when the monasteries of Tibet were opened for access, albeit with limited quotas, many foreigners began to come there. And it must be said frankly that the attitude towards foreigners in the monasteries was extremely bad: after all, this is Tibetan national spirituality. Our future monk and his friends were disappointed: they were so eager for this sublime teaching, for this brotherhood, spiritual exploits, mantras and prayers. This attitude continued until the Tibetans learned that they were facing Russians. They began to talk among themselves, and the word “Peresvet” was heard in the conversation. They began to find out, and it turned out that the name of this Russian monk was written in a special holy book, where their most important spiritual events were recorded. The victory of Peresvet is listed there as an event that fell out of the usual course of things. It turns out that Chelubey was not just an experienced warrior and hero - he was a Tibetan monk who was trained not only in the Tibetan martial arts system, but also mastered the ancient practice of Bon-po combat magic. As a result, he reached the heights of this initiation and achieved the status of “immortal.” The phrase “Bon-po” can be translated as “school of combat magic speech,” that is, the art of fighting in which the effectiveness of fighting techniques increases infinitely by attracting the power of powerful entities of the other world - demons (demons) through magical spells. As a result, a person allows into himself the “power of the beast”, or, more simply put, turns into a single being with the demon, a kind of symbiosis of man and demon, becoming possessed. The payment for such a service is the immortal soul of a person, which even after death will not be able to free itself from these terrible posthumous embraces of the forces of darkness.
It was believed that such a warrior monk was practically invincible. The number of such Tibetan warriors chosen by spirits has always been extremely small; they were considered a special phenomenon in the spiritual practice of Tibet. That is why Chelubey was put up for single combat with Peresvet - in order to spiritually break the Russians even before the start of the battle.

In the famous painting by V. M. Vasnetsov, both warriors are depicted in armor, which distorts the deep meaning of what was happening. Pavel Ryzhenko wrote this story more accurately:Peresvet entered the battle without armor - in the vestments of a Russian monk of the Great Schema and with a spear in his hand.Therefore, he himself received a serious wound from Chelubey. But he killed the “immortal”. This caused complete confusion for the Tatar army: something happened before their eyes that, in principle, could not happen. The usual course of things was disrupted and the immutable laws of the pagan world were shaken.

And to this day, servants of the spirits of darkness, masters of martial arts, keep the memory that there are certain “Russians” who have their own God, whose power is irresistible. And this Russian God is higher than all their gods, and the warriors of this God are invincible.

Commentary by artist Pavel Ryzhenko, author, on the painting:
“Peresvet defeated Chelubey. But why did he defeat the best fighter in all of Asia, who is still prayed to like a saint in Tibet? There are many answers to this question, but the most correct one, in my opinion, is this. He, Peresvet, schemamonk Alexander, still inveterate in the Lavra Venerable Sergius, rode to the Kulikovo field dead to everything except love. He loved, this giant baby. He was obedient to his Abba Sergius, who barely reached the shoulder of his child. He did not notice the difficulties of the month-long campaign - he waited. I waited for my moment and waited. I wish I could see this moment of triumph at least from afar! No, not the one shown in the picture, but the real one. Spiritual..."
