Tonpa Shenrab is the founder of the Yungdrung Bon religion 8,000 years ago in the land of Tajik to the west of Tibet. www.himalayana... www.himalayana...
Recently Bon is officially Yungdrung Bon founder Tempa Sherpa, although the names of earlier Bons are not written, from the main Selaygara Bon - Yurung Bon in the north direction, Tachenralpa Bon in the east direction, Paubon in the south direction and Ngoidupbon in the west direction - the names are not written and are not known. .
How interesting! As he is supposed to have appeared 18000 years ago, are there any artistic representations prior to arrival of buddhism to tibet or even prior to Buddha sakyamuni's time?
It is possible there could be some book illuminations or drawings of Tonpa Shenrab from the 1st millennium . Known depictions of Tonpa Shenrab in art are dated after the 11/12th century.
@nebula393who knows their might be a sculpture or painting of him but the researchers haven't found yet, or all the artistic materials may have vanished. 😊✌
