Bon

• (Ch. Benjiao). A Tibetan religious tradition that traces its history back to pre-Buddhist practices associated with the cult of the early Tibetan kings. It has absorbed many Buddhist practices and doctrines, but its adherents consider Bon to be distinct from Tibetan Buddhism. [resp. John Powers; source(s): HDT]
