Life

Shardza Tashi Gyaltsen (1859–1935) was a Bön scholar–yogi whose writings, notably the cycle translated as Heart Drops of Dharmakaya, present Bön Dzogchen in forms that later reached international print. ORDL lists him as a literature card for Bön on the esoteric map. Empowerment and practice require qualified Bön teachers; this page sells no rites.

The system

  • Bön Dzogchen in modern literary transmission
  • Integration of monastic scholarship and yogic writing
  • ORDL boundary: reading—not empowerment substitute

Key works

  • Heart Drops of Dharmakaya (English translation cycle)
  • Related Bön doctrinal and practice manuals in Tibetan print

Where to start

  • Read beside Tibetan Buddhist Dzogchen literature already on ORDL (e.g. Longchenpa) to see family resemblances and differences
  • Seek living Bön teachers for practice questions

What does it mean for Bön Dzogchen to travel as a translated “heart drop” book across languages?
