The seed syllable of DZA
The Bön Buddhist tradition from Tibet is one of the world’s oldest unbroken spiritual traditions. This tradition has been, and still is, transmitted from master to student orally, and is rich with methods that can help guide all beings to a better life. A key tool is the use of sacred sound. Similarly to other traditions, the use of seed syllables and mantras are very important. Sacred sound syllables such as RAM and DZA are toned to bring the subtle energies of the visible and non-visible body back into their natural harmony, clearing visible and non-visible blockages. This in turn allows greater access to the limitless creativity and positive energy that is available to us.
