Bön, Tibetan, "invocation, recitation"; a general heading in Tibetan Buddhism for various religious currents in Tibet before the introduction of Buddhism by Padmasambhava. The word bonpo referred originally to priests with varying functions, as, for example, performing divination or burial rites for the protection of the living and the dead.  In a later phase it referred to a theoretical doctrinal system developed that was strongly influenced by foreigners from the neighboring countries to the west.  A special role in this was played by the Shangshung kingdom, usually considered to cover a geographical area corresponding to today's west Tibet.  In the beginning of the 11th century Bön appeared as an independent school that distinguished itself fro Buddhism through its claim to preserve the continuity of the old Bon tradition.  This school, which is still in existence, shares certain teachings with the Nyingmapas.
