Chod Practice In The Bon Tradition

A study of Chod, the method used by Tibetan Buddhists to face and dissolve fears, worries, and attachments, from the point of view of Bon, the most shamanistic of the Tibetan spiritual traditions. Chod is used in Tibet today to treat mental and physical illness and as a path to awareness.
