kun tu bzang po is also the primordial buddha in the Bön tradition, where he is associated with enlightened awareness and the Reality Body (bon sku). Note that the Great Tibetan-Chinese Dictionary (bod rgya tshig mdzod chen mo) incorrectly lists kun tu bzang po as the “enjoyment body” in the Bön tradition (bon lugs kyi longs spyod rdzogs pa'i sku).

This text discusses kun tu bzang po with regard to gnas lugs, ngo bo, dpe yi mtshon bya, rigs rnams dbye ba [600.6], and snang tshul as sku, gsung, and thugs.
by David Higgins
This passage provides a definition of Kun tu bzang po followed by a discussion of 5 facets of Kun tu bzang po as ston kun tu bzang po, gzhi, rgyan, rig pa, and rtogs pa. It is based on a classification from Kun tu bzang po thugs kyi me long {116136}, which includes rang bzhin instead of gzhi.
This passage discusses the Rdzogs chen (Ati) interpretation of Kun tu bzang po as the primary figure (gtso bo) in Guhyagarbha rather than Vairocana (Mahā). It follows Klong chen pa's Phyogs bcu mun sel and Rongzom's Gsang ba snying po commentary {116326}.
