Sangpo Bumtri is the creator deity of Yungdrung Bon, Tibet's indigenous religious tradition, whose name means Procreator of Beings. He is counted among Bon's Four Transcendent Lords, and Bon texts describe him as having no eyes, hands, ears or nose, only spirit, a paradox meant to express his transcendent, immaterial nature.
