    The founder of Bön religion is the Lord Shenrab Miwo.

    In past ages there were three brothers, Dagpa, Salba, and Shepa, who studied the Bön doctrines in the heaven named Sridpa Yesang, under the Bon Sage Bumtri.

    When their studies were completed, they visited the God of Compassion Shenlha Odkar and asked him how they could help the living beings submerged in the misery and sorrow of suffering.

    He advised them to act as guides to mankind in three successive ages of the world.

    To follow his advice the eldest brother, Dagpa completed his work in the past world age.

    The second brother, Salba took the name Shenrab and became the teacher and guide of the present world age.

    The youngest brother, Shepa will come to teach in the next world-age.
