Bon Chod Practice

• Our grasping of the ego;
• Our attachment to our physical body and the five aggregates of form, feelings, perception, mental formations, and consciousness;
• Our afflicted emotions and habits; and
• Our fear of our mortality and attachment to our continuation as a permanent and independently existing entity.

Laughter of the Khandroma was composed by the great Bön Dzogchen Master Shardza Tashi Gyaltsen who achieved the rainbow body in 1934.

In this book, Tempa Dukte Lama offers an introductory teaching on Chod practice and a detailed explanation of the Laughter of the Khandroma practice and visualization. The practice text is provided in Tibetan and English together with the closing prayers of longevity, confession, and dedication, music notation, and guidance on how to play the accompanying drum, bell, and trumpet. This is followed by instructions and the Tibetan and English liturgy of the Chang Bu Gyatsa Chod ritual, which can be integrated with Chod Practice. The final part of the book offers the Tibetan and English liturgy of the fierce Bön Chod practice Zab Chod. 

The substantially revised and expanded second edition offers a more detailed explanation of Bon Chod practice and how we can use it to transform fear and attachments. The Chang Bu Gyatsa ritual and torma instructions and the ritual text in Tibetan and English together with the ritual text of the Zab Chod practice are also new to this second edition.
