Drala

Drala literally means that which is above war or aggression. The drala principle refers to the strength and power that is inherent in every situation. On the ultimate level, drala is a manifestation of primordial wisdom and presents the view of enlightened mind. On an inner level, drala is the unique quality or energy that exists in situations and things. On the external level, drala is connected with coincidence and magic.

The practice of invoking drala has its roots in the Bön tradition of pre-buddhist Tibet. There are similar practices in most aboriginal cultures around the world.
