Nature is a snake or dragon-like vortex (klong) boiling over with dragon blood. Yogis have their own internal ouroboros (kundalini, avadhuti...) sucking its own dragon blood upwards, from the tail right in the head. Immortality for dummies. :-)<br /><br />Seriously, this sort of alchemy/immortality seems to have been a big buzz almost all over the globe. I can't believe that Tibet only had access to it trough India. Why not also directly (or indirectly via Buddhism) from China? Through Taoism. I think Taoïsm or whatever name it had there (if it did have one at all) was big in Tibet, very big! Why do Bönpos wear blue?

The ouroboros symbol seems ambivalent to me.<br /><br />I know the dragon's blood tree grows in Socotra (island property of Yemen), which some think was named for Sukhavati They found Brahmi inscriptions by Indian travelers in a cave there (some Italians wrote about them, honest).Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10453904366382251766noreply@blogger.com
